Sony has released a new trailer for Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, directly from its Gamescom presser last night.

The trailer starts out with a bit of a lovers spat between lead-man Drake and female-lead Elena, before heading into some stealth gameplay, before heading into the heat of the action upon the top of a moving vehicle whilst in pursuit of a plane.

Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception once again drops players into the suave fortune hunter, Nathan Drake, as he embarks on his latest expedition into the mystic heart of the Arabian Desert.

In the midst of an elaborate con to settle a twenty-year old score, fortune hunter Nathan Drake stumbles into a centuries-old conspiracy that puts him back on the trail of his infamous ancestor, renowned explorer and privateer Sir Francis Drake. But his search for a lost 16th-century treasure leads him to an even greater discovery – an ancient secret that ensnares him in a web of deceit, pitting him against a shadowy clandestine organization and the occult treachery of its cunning and ruthless leader.

Aided by his partner and mentor Victor Sullivan, Drake embarks on a daring trek across Europe and into the Middle East, tracing the footsteps of the famed Lawrence of Arabia as they follow a centuries-old trail of clues leading to a fabled lost city buried for millennia in the heart of Arabia’s Rub’ al-Khali desert – a legend Lawrence christened “the Atlantis of the Sands.

But the vast and pitiless wasteland of the Empty Quarter conceals a terrible mystery, and before the end of their journey, the race to unearth the wealth of the lost city descends into a desperate bid for survival, an ordeal that will push Drake to the limits of his endurance and force him to confront his deepest fears.

The third instalment into the highly-successful franchise features online split-screen support for up to two-players, and is fully playable in stereoscopic 3D.

Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception will launch on November 1 in North America and November 2 in Europe exclusively on PlayStation 3.
