Infamous director would ‘love to work on more’
Sucker Punch is best known now for Ghost of Tsushima and the upcoming sequel, Ghost of Yotei. However, during the PS3 generation, the studio was loved for its original superhero game, Infamous. The series has been dormant since the first year of the PS4 generation, but the director would like to bring it back.
Nate Fox, the director behind Infamous 1 & 2, as well as the PS4 launch-year title, Infamous Second Son, recently spoke a bit about his time working on the series. Fox told Game Informer that he would “love to work on more”, or even deliver a re-release of the original trilogy.
Unfortunately, the chances of Infamous returning anytime soon under Sucker Punch seem slim, as Fox also added that the studio is a “one game at a time shop”, so right now, all the focus is on Ghost of Yotei and its post-release support.
Infamous debuted in 2009 and followed protagonist, Cole MacGrath, who gains super powers after being caught in the middle of an explosion. A sequel arrived on PS3 in 2011, and the final game in the series, Infamous: Second Son, released on PS4 in 2014.
KitGuru Says: It would be nice to get a natively playable version of Infamous 1 & 2 for PS5 at the very least. Currently, PS3 titles rely on cloud streaming for backwards compatibility.
