Naughty Dog has announced that this week’s imminent free Uncharted 2 game update will also feature a new multiplayer map.

The new map is called The Fort and is based on the Fortress chapter of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. The Fort is a long rectangular map with wide open spaces and excellent flank routes. Tunnels lead into the basement and there is a shotgun in the centre of the map, but look out for people climbing up from below to pull you to your doom. An RPG can be found in the side room in the crypt.

The Fort will be available in all Competitive Playlists and the Co-op Arena Playlist.

The update will also introduce a couple of new multiplayer features: leaderboards and a player card. You will be able to check out how you’re performing in comparison to your friends or where you stand on the global stats in the following real-time leaderboards:

– Competitive Wins

– Co-op

– Kills

– Money

The new player card will provide players with a instant snapshot of your vitals: level, competitive wins, kills, money, co-op points and your current booster loadout.

This coming Thanksgiving weekend is also going to be a Double Cash weekend, with players receiving two times the cash from all medals awarded during the course of a competitive or cooperative match. The per-match limits of $50,000 are still in effect.

The event begins at 6pm GMT on Friday and ends at 7pm GMT on Monday. Oh, and you might notice that all in-game characters have put on a few pounds when playing this weekend.
