Uncharted 3 Mega Patch 1.13 Hits PSN Today, Introduces Tournament System, 137 Pieces of New Content

Uncharted 3 Mega Patch 1.13 Hits PSN Today, Introduces Tournament System, 137 Pieces of New Content:

Naughty Dog’s massive patch is now available for Uncharted 3 and with it comes some major additions to the experience.

The third chapter in Nathan Drake’s tale may have released late last year, but that doesn’t mean that the developer has simply moved on to other pursuits, as the latest update for Uncharted 3 goes live today and serves as the studio’s “biggest patch ever”.
The update includes a whopping 137 pieces of new content, not the least of which is a new Tournament System, which “ushers in a points-based competition that has three reward tiers which grant you special in-game weapons or items based on how well you played. Once you unlock a weapon or item it’s yours to use until the next tournament period.”
In addition, the patch prepares gamers for upcoming multiplayer DLC that will begin rolling out next week on the 14th. Players will be able to unlock the content by reaching a particular level, collecting enough treasures, or purchasing the add-on over PSN. New “experimental” multiplayer maps will also be released in the coming days, so there’s plenty of content to keep that Uncharted 3 disc spinning in your PS3 for quite some time.
