14 DAY TRIAL // PlayStation 3 owners from around the world are looking forward to the release of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception this November, but Sony, its publisher, wants to bring Nathan Drake and his adventures to other mediums, including comic books, where it's already been with the release of Uncharted 2, and novels, thanks to a book written by author Christopher Golden.
The Uncharted franchise developed by Naughty Dog has become somewhat of a phenomenon, seeing two games up until now, with two other in development, Uncharted 3 for the PS3 and Uncharted: Golden Abyss for the PlayStation Vita, not to mention a movie project current led by Neil Burger.
Sony is now taking the series to other mediums, including comic books, where it's already been two years ago, with the release of the Uncharted: Eye of the Indra motion comic, the prequel to Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
The six-issue comic book series, which is out on November 30, is made in partnership with DC Comics, written by Joshua Williamson, with pencils by Sergio Sandoval and covers by Tony Harris.
"The comic book series takes place before both Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and will find Nathan Drake discovering that the legendary Amber Room was hidden by another great explorer, Sir Richard Byrd, where legend has it that many, many years ago, Byrd hid the Amber Room in the fabled Agartha (a legendary city that is said to reside in the earth’s core, often referred to as “The Hollow Earth”). Drake competes with a new adversary to find clues that will lead them on a journey to the center of the Earth — and a breathtaking new adventure," Sony revealed about the comic book series.
The book, called Uncharted: The Fourth Labyrinth, is written by Christopher Golden and will be released on October 4, 2011. It sees Drake try to uncover the three long lost labyrinths, culminating with the mythical one created by Daedalus to hold the ancient Minotaur.
