New inFamous 2 Details

Open-world super-heroic simulator InFamous 2 will be released in North America on June 7, 2011!  The game, a PS3 exclusive, was developed by Sucker Punch Productions, the team behind the original InFamous. A hero Cole MacGrath, you'll be using advanced elemental superpowers, a new melee fighting system, and destructible environments in the Southern city of New Marais, which is clearly patterned after New Orleans.

"Combining all-new dynamic open world gameplay and an evolved karma system, the second chapter in the best-selling franchise promises to bring back everything fans loved about inFamous and more," said Scott A. Steinberg, vice president, product marketing, SCEA. "inFamous 2 is Sucker Punch's most ambitious game yet and is poised to once again be PS3's summer blockbuster with a more visceral, emotional and powerful take on the true superhero experience."

Scheduled to be released simultaneously with the game, the inFamous 2 "Hero Edition" will feature:

  • A detailed, 8.5" Cole statue,
  • a replica of Cole's sling messenger bag,
  • the inFAMOUS mini comic from DC Comics, and
  • a collector's edition soundtrack with bonus tracks.
  • Vouchers for in-game exclusives include the new Lightning Hook power that snares enemies and objects towards Cole, the Electrocution Grenade power that shocks nearby enemies with arcing electricity and immobilizes them before detonation,
  • a Kessler character skin that allows players to play as the sinister antagonist from the first installment, and a
  • 24K Gold Amp to melee enemies in style.

You can pre-order inFamous 2 today. Get it!

    The timing makes sense. With so many other ps3 exclusives this year it may be the only time that is open. Someone mentioned September, but we have Resistance 3 then. There may not be a month this year without an amazing ps3 game

    Cole should be in DC Universe. And since he isn't really good or evil because its the players choice. They should make some crazy story about how his electrical powers create some crazy storm which opens a vortex. The vortex scrambles his atoms making them dublicate and split causing Cole to be split into two one good and other evil. Than they can add electricity power make him a mentor and add a badass story plot to it. Sounds good to me.

    Going out to reserve the hero edition today (if I can at reatailers that is). Sucker Punch has made one of the best games this gen in inFAMOUS, and inFAMOUS 2 looks like it will expand upon that foundation laid by inFAMOUS. Can't wait.

    Already pre-ordered the Hero Edition from Amazon with release day shipping. BTW, anyone who's curious, all 4 preorder bonus items from Best Buy, Wal Mart, Gamestop, and Amazon are available in the Hero Edition no matter where you pre-order from. Which is awesome, bc I hate store specific pre-order bonuses.

    Take note all you other games doing collector's editions. This is how it is done.

    It will be hard to stay out of the sun and off the lake but inFamous 2 will likely make it easier.

    Holy hell, June 7th! I don't know if its because I haven't been paying enough attention or what, but this game sneaked up on me. I was expecting a late fall release for some reason. Totally pumped to get a great summer game.

    I'm hoping those downloadable powers will be put on the store eventually because if they're really useful in game, I'm not paying 100$ for things I'll never use just to get something that'll make the game funner / easier

    I am shocked, was expecting a fall release, probably in September to give it space from Uncharted, but hell this works out even better!

    I don't see why more games like Infamous 2 arent spread out during the summer.
