"Sony Europe is engaging in some curious marketing over on a German website, hinting that the future adventures of Uncharted hero Nathan Drake will take him on the trail of a famous Norwegian explorer.

Drake has a page on meinVZ, a German Facebook clone, and it looks to be maintained by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. On it, a recent status update reads "Wahrscheinlich ist es Wahnsinn, aber ich will der Sache nachgehen. Werde nach Fredrikstad fliegen, Amundsen Heimatort. Muss es wissen!"

Or, in easier to understand words, "This is probably crazy, but I'm looking into it. Flying to Fredrikstad, Amundsen's home town. I must know!"

Fredrikstad is a town in Norway, and is the birthplace of Roald Amundsen, a famed polar explorer who was the first man to ever reach both the South and North Poles.

Where it gets interesting is that Amundsen went missing in 1928, and while the plane he was flying in was later found, his body was not. And where it gets really interesting is that previous updates left on the meinVZ page earlier in the year tell of Amundsen writing about finding 25 million year-old cities buried under the ice.

Certainly sounds like a trail Nathan Drake could find himself on. I wonder, with E3 just around the corner, whether some sizeable singleplayer downloadable content could be in store for Uncharted 2?"

Can't wait to see Nathan Drake's next adventure. The singleplayer campaign of Uncharted 2 was just awesome (though perhaps it could use some more puzzles?). Hopefully Naughty Dog can match that experience (or even top it) in Nathan Drake's next adventure.

next update:"Morgen geht endlich der Flug. Fühle mich beobachtet. Ein Mann verfolgt mich seit Tagen. Sollte mich vielleicht mal mit ihm unterhalten. "

translation:
"My flight goes tomorrow. I'm feeling observed. A Man is tracking me down a few days already. Maybe I should talk to him."

Seems to early to announce a new ps3 game, and I doubt they'd do much DLC aside from MP maps. Maybe a PSP game?

single player dlc doesnt really pay off and with that line of translation, i could think of a story for a whole game UNCHARTED 3!

Uncharted 3 announced for fall 2011 at E3. Early annoucnement so it can be another rock to throw at Microsoft and Natal following PS3 Slim's and the franchise's momentum.

Either PSP title (Sony do seem keen on getting franchises across PSP now) and it would make sense, particularly in US, to either try and bolster some interest in PSP or as a great new title to push the launch of a PSP2.

It could be Uncharted 3 too, of course, but it does seem close to 2 in that case - although ND are sitting on an incredibly well tuned engine capable of supporting SP and MP, so it could be possible to get faster turnaround on a new title now.

i would have preferd if it was based on Egypt, but what can you say where ever naughty dog are going to do it, its going to be good !!

BTW I saw that apparently this was simply some marketing activity and apparently unlinked to anything specific - although you wonder why they'd set this up just to mess about with it in that case.
