It was further elaborated by Naughty Dog's game designer, Vinit Agarwal, that the upcoming "Uncharted: Survival" was based off the same premise as that of "Uncharted 2" and "Uncharted 3's" Co-Op Arena mode.

Agarwal also mentioned that they've built and developed the core gameplay of "Uncharted: Survival" with an absolute change in level of depth, challenge, and variety. The gameplay will also feature new kinds of opponents, stronger and more difficult bosses, a dedicated progression system, and even an expansive upgradable weaponry.
