Infamous PS5 Game Reportedly in Development

A new game in PlayStation’s Infamous series is said to be in the works for PS5. Within the past year, rumors began popping up claiming that Sony could be looking to bring back Infamous in some capacity soon. And while the rumors in question never ended up bearing any fruit in 2021, it sounds...

According to a new message from AccountNGT on Twitter, which has previously had accurate scoops related to other upcoming video games, PlayStation is very much looking into an Infamous revival. Although this new report in question didn't have a lot to share on what a new PS5 version of Infamous could look like, it wasn't the only Sucker Punch-developed title that was said to be returning. "I can corroborate that a new Sly Cooper and a new Infamous are in development," said the latest statement from the account.

 

[SeraphJan]

Yes! I wanted this more than Ghost of Tsushima 2

 

[Mr Hyde]

I believe it when I see it. Infamous revival would be cool though on PS5. I'd probably be there day 1 since I enjoyed all three games (second one being the best).

 

[Krappadizzle]

I've always had a soft spot for the series. I REALLY liked the gameplay evolution of Infamous 2. Infamous 3 had stunning graphics for it's time, but I just didn't really care too much to even replay it once after I beat it. It'd be interesting to see what they can come up with as all 3 have been pretty good regardless.

 

[Stuart360]

Infamous 2 was one of my fave games on PS3. It was a pretty epic game and FAR better than the one on PS4. I dont know what happened with that game but it felt more like a tech demo, and didnt have any of the epicness of the PS3 games imo. It doidnt even have fantastical enemies and giant monsters, etc.

Yep Infamous is an awesome saga and I wonder what Sucker Punch could do on the ps5 with Infamous.
I guess particles everywhere and great lighting.

What have they guessed right before?

Ghost of Tsushima 2 Seemingly Leaked

It looks like Ghost of Tsushima is getting a sequel on PS5. Sucker Punch followed up 2014’s Infamous: Second Son in 2020 with Ghost of Tsushima, a brand new IP and a very different game for the developer. That said, upon release, the game was an instant commercial success and a critical success...

comicbook.com

Sucker Punch Productions -- a PlayStation-owned studio -- is hiring for multiple positions, including a Senior Combat Designer and a Technical Combat Designer. As you would expect, Sucker Punch doesn't say in the job listings what applicants will be working on, but the developer does note that all applicants as a "requirement" "must-have played Ghost of Tsushima and understand its core gameplay systems." Why would applicants need to have played Ghost of Tsushima as a requirement if the game in question wasn't a sequel? There's no other explanation, at least not of the reasonable variety. This all but confirms a sequel is in development, which has yet to be confirmed.

Word. DLC was a joke too. Infamous 2 was ridiculously good...

Yes I know, what I'm saying is that I'm glad they will also continue to release Infamous franchise.

[Ass of Can Whooping]

There has to be a different dev involved. No way can SP go from taking 5 years to release one new game to having three in production

 

[EverydayBeast]

Even though this developer is certainly established (Sly Cooper and Infamous) it's still rare to factor a historical samurai game into today's mainstream casual gaming world of pubg, and warzone (Ghost of Tsushima) infamous ps5 will try to save the rogue super hero powers genre, I'll take it.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

What have they guessed right before?

Just the Star Wars Eclipse so far.

 

[bitbydeath]

Just the Star Wars Eclipse so far.

Was it reported previously or just another case of someone editing their tweets after the reveal?

 

[Chronicle]

This should showcase some true nexgen gameplay. If not, all hope is lost. Not a huge fan of the series but carnage with hands and powers can work for me if it's a graphical powerhouse

 

[VinnyMac]

Thank God cuz GOT is boring asf

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Was it reported previously or just another case of someone editing their tweets after the reveal?

There was Tom Henderson but this guy was the first to name the title

 

[Stuart360]

Its making me want to play Infamous 2 right now lol. I wonder if Sony will ever bring like an 'Infamous Trilogy' to PC.

 

[tusharngf]

Nope. They are making a mistake here. People want new ip not infamous. Last game wasnt that good.

 

[bitbydeath]

There was Tom Henderson but this guy was the first to name the title

Yeah, I tried looking but Google only turns up results of it being discovered after the reveal. (From what I could find)

 

[Stuart360]

Nope. They are making a mistake here. People want new ip not infamous. Last game wasnt that good.

It wasnt but a proper 'Infamous 3'. i think it would do well.

 

[Elder Legend]

Meh don't care for infamous to be honest. Was hoping for a new IP. Sly Cooper sounds great though.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Last Infamous game stunk. I would play a sequel tho. Superhero games like that are a dead genre seemingly.

 

[Neolombax]

If they could go back to the tone of Infamous 2, that would be great.

 

[ACESHIGH]

Good release a remastered collection for PS5 and PC first to gauge interest. Second son would look great on PC.

 

[DarkestHour]

Borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring

 

[azertydu91]

Hey so maybe that shpeshal nick ( I have no idea how to write it) was not wrong about it.

 

[[Sigma]]

I know said this before when this was brought up but of course Infamous is going to return at some point. Why would they stop making this game just because Ghost is successful? They can make both.

 

[kingfey]

Glad its on production. I dont want it to end it up like splinter cell. Now I got something to look forward to.

 

[sainraja]

I have played and finished all the InFamous games. I liked Second Son and I thought Delsin as a character was good.

 

[Captain Toad]

I love inFamous. The first two were better overall games, but the neon effects in Second Son and First Light still look amazing. That could be an amazing game for raytracing, if they could pull it off well.

 

[Atanascovich]

Prototype was better

 

[elliot5]

Cool but by who? I cant imagine SP can work on both their IP and maybe a Ghosts of Tsushima sequel

 

[Ezquimacore]

now we are talking Sony, and revive Cole... fuck that Troy Baker looking prick.

 

[Gamerguy84]

OK please be true. Played the OG when it launched and loved it. Part two came out and it was even better. I've played through Infamous 2 through PSNOW again.

Wasn't the biggest Delsin fan but of course played the PS5 plus version, the gameplay saves it, and it's great.

I'd play whatever but would love a remake of 1 because Cole was the best.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

There has to be a different dev involved. No way can SP go from taking 5 years to release one new game to having three in production

Bend? They lost their original IP privileges.

But it's rumored their working on "Men In Black" open world.

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

Jesus, one of the worst Playstation franchises ever. I hope they don't go for it.

 

[kyliethicc]

doubt it

 

[Hobbygaming]

I prefer Ghost of Tsushima 2 but if this Infamous has Cole or a new main character, I'm down. I didn't like Delsin

 

[Trogdor1123]

I know it is fake because it is good news…

 

[bender]

bummer

 

[jaysius]

Oh fuck, what a huge step backwards from Ghost of Tsushima, they finally learned how to make vehicles/mounts work and now they're going back to the dark ages of "every car you enter would have exploded because we don't understand how to make an open world with driving".

 

[wvnative]

who would be making it?

 

[VanCityGamer]

I think Ghost of Tsushima was too successful for Sucker Punch not to continue the series.

That said, I personally wish they would cancel any sequel. I was bored to tears in Tsushima. I love the Infamous series, and was disappointed that it was shelved to clear space for GoT's super long dev cycle. We could have had two banger & refined Infamous games in that time period.

 

[01011001]

let's hope it reaches the greatness of the first 2 games and not the awfulness of Second Son.

 

[AmuroChan]

I think one of these could be a PSVR2 game.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

I can see another infamous because of the popularity of the superhero genre right now.

Sly Cooper doesn't make much sense unless it is a pretty small team working on it.

I'm confident they are all in on GoT2.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Id rather Ghost of Tsushima 2 and Sly 5
Then Id like a new Infamous or new ip

 

[Craig of War]

Prototype was better

Xbox now own Prototype so hoping for a Prototype 3
