We figured that Naughty Dog would tire of its propensity to tease us once Uncharted 2: Among Thieves had finally hit store shelves. However, if the developer's recent late-night tweet is any indication, its still got a few surprises up its sleeve. The aforementioned tweet simply read, "working late tonight, got a ton of things that need to get done," and included a link to the unsettling image above.
If we were to wager a guess as to what those ... things are, our early analysis would be Helghast skeletons. Now, with Halloween coming up, the skeletons thing makes sense. Helghast, though? That's just garishly non-canonical.

NaughtyDog should do something for halloween, like pumpkin grenades or grim reaper characters.

It's Skelzor...I have him as a single player skin. He has glowing red eyes and a pumping red heart which is clear in the picture above.

This is already in the game. It's not DLC. It's a skin you don't have the option buying until level 60 so most likely you haven't seen it yet, let alone a whole team with the skin. The Devs obviously all have the skin and thought it would make a nice Halloween picture, which it does.
I love you ND.

I guess Skelzor makes sense. I thought they were Terminators with paintball guns, personally.

Non-cannon... in an Uncharted game? Come on... there's no such thing as cannon in Uncharted.
I'm a mighty treasure hunter! I hope I don't encounter any zombies!... ffffffffff...
And apparently, while I'm not completely done, I am almost done 2, I hear it's almost as bad.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE both games... but they take crazy twists.

... Oh shoot, I used double brackets to label my spoilers... but the commenting system hid them. :(
I'm sorry, downvote it to oblivion so that no one gets the spoilers. :-\

The twist this time around makes more sense than the zombie mutants in the first one. I guess.
Either way, it works out both gameplay and story-wise.

Oh no! Could this be a zombie like multiplayer mode? I hope not... sort a.
Seriously love the series, but why did it even need a multiplayer part to it? I mean this game IMO doesn't need or warrant a multiplayer aspect. Weak. I'd rather have more campaign and or even better graphics.

It's a third person shooter. Adding multiplayer wasn't an "unconventional" thing at all. In fact the first game barely had any replay value that for once all the fanboys screaming bloody murder for no multiplayer were right.

Why can't some games just be good for what they are without adding a mode that's tact on? Can't it just be a badass action adventure story game period? While this game series is awesome, I regretably think it's a good meal that doesn't need the coffee at the end.

a team of 4 lvl 60 skelzors in multi player would be scary!

Could this be hinting at a Skelzor halloween? Since they are ALL skelzor, will we all be skelzor tomorrow?
I think that's possible....and could be tons of fun on train wreck as depicted.

The update is up. It's Skelzor one team and then some other dude the opposite team.

The other "dude" is some guy named Marco Polo I believe... although he's somewhat dead.
