Uncharted 2 developers Naughty Dog has announced that they will launch a new playlist called “The Lab” from May 28th – June 1st.

“The Lab” and it will be running every other weekend “for the foreseeable future”.

The new playlist will feature one or more “custom-tuned gametype variations from the tons of variables” that can be added to the games already growing multiplayer settings.

Here’s the current schedule for the first three Lab events via the ND’s official website:

May 28 – June 1: 2 vs. 2 Team Deathmatch -Grab a partner for this small- to medium-size map mow-down. You’ve got 15 minutes to rack up 25 kills, or more than the other team, to prove your small-team superiority. I’m going to recommend now that you’re going to want pick a reliable teammate you want to play with over the weekend.

June 11 – 14: Shotguns Only – We’re serving up short-range mayhem as all players and maps spawn with Moss-12 and Pistole only. Oh, and NO grenades.

June 25 – 28: Sniper Extermination – Two teams. Dragon Sniper rifles. One life per round. Best of 5 rounds takes the match win. Absolutely tense, totally tactical.

        “The Lab” begins next week with double cash.
