How does Naughty Dog one-up its game of the year award-winning Uncharted 2: Among Thieves? By creating a bigger, bolder, more human adventure for Nathan Drake (and fixing the problems maybe didn't think of as problems to begin with).

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, officially unveiled last week at the Spike TV Video Game Awards then demonstrated live on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, sends treasure hunting action hero Nathan Drake to the desert. Drake and his partner, Victor Sullivan (featured more prominently in the first Uncharted), will ultimately find themselves in Arabia's Rub' al-Khali desert, following the footsteps of T.E. Lawrence in search of their prize in the Atlantis of the Sands, alternatively known as the city of Ubar, Iram of the Pillars, and the City of Brass.

Deception's exploration of the Rub' al-Khali will feature "sand in all of its forms, drifting, blowing over the dunes, the displacement of sand, how it flows, sandstorms, mirages, heat haze—all that you would find in the desert," say its creators.
