The official PlayStation blog bares some new Uncharted 3 details, following their recent GDC 2011 presentation. New screenshots and a trailer released today introduce one Katherine Marlowe, a British aristocrat and leader of an ancient secret society:

Marlowe is definitely not one you want to get in the way of, or worse, double cross! To give you some background, Katherine Marlowe is the coldly calculating leader of a secret society whose roots date back over four hundred years to the court of Queen Elizabeth I. She has a long-standing rivalry with Nathan Drake over Sir Francis Drake’s ring – something they both contend is rightfully theirs and is also the key to an ancient mystery.

As you can tell from the cutscene above, Marlowe is a much more cerebral enemy than Drake has confronted in the past, using both psychological and physical tactics to get what she is after. Marlowe also has the assistance of her team of highly trained agents in this secret society – they are far more elusive and dangerous than the hired guns Nathan Drake and Victor Sullivan have faced in the past.

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is due exclusively on PlayStation 3 on November 11th 2011.
