Goblin-skeleton things: Uncharted 2 has them (Update) photo

While the above could be a sinister joke, one of the most recent tweets blasted by the official Naughty Dog Twitter account has us thinking goblins could be coming to Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Just look at it. Goblins. In Uncharted 2.

On the other hand, these little creatures could be broken Hobbits, twisted and shattered by the power of the One Ring. Or we suppose, in this case, Marco Polo’s little hidden treasure. Point is, we haven't the slightest idea what the hell these boney-skeleton thing is. The tweet didn't have the details.

“Working late tonight,” the tweet reads, “got a ton of things that need to get done ...”

We’re checking in Naughty Dog on this one, but we’re still pumped about the possibilities of the image. The last we heard on the DLC front, though (which this would probably have to be delivered as) was that competitive multiplayer was to be the initial focus. If true, how the hell does this image fit into the picture?

[via Joystiq, thanks BS3 Owner!]

[Update: Look. A skeleton goblin thing. This is a level 60 multiplayer skin, that presumably, all the developers will be using this weekend during the double XP thing. Move along, we're sorry -- we haven't hit this level quite yet to know much differently.]

Stupid shit like this is why I disliked that part in the first game.

I believe it's just the skelzor skins that you get at level 60.

At first I wasn't a fan of the "Uninvited Guests" in Drake's Fortune, but on my second playthrough I realized that run n gun was how to easily dispatch them. Naughty Dog should've been more overt in teasing the Descendants, but upon further review, they work very well.

The *spoilers* purple people of Shambhala make sense, too...they're just a lot more difficult to deal with.

Maybe they don't want to kill you. You never know.

It's funny that people bitch about Uncharted's gameplay being too repetitive, but then their least favorite part is when they change it up by putting in enemies that charge you instead of hiding behind cover all the time.

if you look at the creature on the right it looks like a skeleton. if you check out the groin-area, which i always do, it looks just like a pelvic bone.

I would like for them to add additional chapters to the single player for DLC rather than just focus on multiplayer.

As mentioned, it's just the Skelzor skin from single player. My favorite thing to do is select the Skelzor skin, spawn the GAU-19 with infinite ammo and one-hit kills, and play the Terminator theme as I mow down dozens and dozens of baddies. So satisfying!

Umm, I was just playing online now and EVERYONE on the villains team gets to play as this skin. It's pretty cool...for the weekend.

Yea, I was playing this earlier and anyone on the hero team gets to play as this and the villian team plays as the undead soldier, forget the name.

Didn't think it was anything extraordinary to be honest.
