It has been confirmed that Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception will require a PSN Pass to experience the game’s online features.

Speaking in an interview with Spanish site The Vault, Sony España Software Manager Juan Jiménez revealed that Naughty Dog’s upcoming sequel will implement the online pass feature, which will see fans being required to enter a one-time-use code in order to play the game online.

"Yes, we’ll continue working with the PSN Pass in order to make a definitive stand against piracy, which basically means we can expect every important Sony release to feature the aforementioned code,” commented Jiménez.

The PSN Pass strategy was introduced earlier this year in order to combat video game piracy and make profit from copies sold second-hand. Those who wish to purchase pre-owned copies of such titles will have to buy new pass codes from the PlayStation Store, with a price tag of $10/£7.99.

Uncharted 3 is the second game to require the PSN Pass. The first was FPS sequel Resistance 3, which was released early last month.

Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception will hit retail shelves on November 1, 2011.
