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.
