Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception development began in 2010. The team tackled development by integrating places distinct from earlier entries in the series, opting on deserts and urban regions, pulling inspiration for the plot from the life of archaeologist T. E. Lawrence. Naughty Dog aimed to improve the game's openness and realism by boosting the amount of motion capture and voice acting, as well as undertaking field research for improved visual settings and noises. The development team also intended to improve the multiplayer system by integrating new competitive and cooperative modes, and the game is noteworthy for being one of the first to include the new online PlayStation Network Pass feature.

Following the critical and commercial success of the first installment, development for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves began immediately. The development team was inspired by explorer Marco Polo's journeys through archipelagos and eastern Asia. For Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Naughty Dog created an updated proprietary engine that works entirely on the Naughty Engine 2.0 system. These enhancements allowed for more in-game cinematic scenes and the inclusion of an online multiplayer component, a first for the franchise.
