Sucker Punch Productions, the studio known for the Ghost of Tsushima and Infamous games, has confirmed its interest in returning to the iconic superhero series. In a chat with GameInformer, Nate Fox, the game director of the studio's current project Ghost of Yotei, admitted that he would like to work on Infamous again - whether it be a new installment or a remaster of old games.
However, this is impossible in the near future, as all the team's resources are focused on finishing the creation of Ghost of Yotei, which is scheduled to be released on October 2, 2025. The project will be a PS5 exclusive, and its success will largely determine the future direction of the studio.
The Legacy and Future of the Infamous Series
The Infamous series has gained a large following among PlayStation gamers, becoming one of the leading examples of the open-world action-adventure genre. Games, where heroes with special powers and moral choices are at the forefront, stand out with their gripping stories and impressive gameplay mechanics.
Infamous: The Impact of Second Son
The last game in the series, Infamous: Second Son, was released in 2014 and is still considered one of the brightest PlayStation exclusives today. Set in Seattle, the game introduces players to a new hero named Delsin Rowe and his ability to use different powers such as neon, smoke and video. Graphically ahead of its time, Second Son once again proved the potential of the Infamous series.
Sucker Punch's Ghost of Yotei Project
While Sucker Punch Productions' current focus is on Ghost of Yotei, Nate Fox's interest in returning to the Infamous series could be considered a hopeful sign for fans. The success of Ghost of Yotei will play a major role in determining the direction of the studio's future projects and could open the doors for a potential sequel or remake of the Infamous series.
Why Should the Infamous Series Return?
- Intense Interest of Fans: Infamous fans have been waiting a long time for a new game or remaster of old games.
- Unique Gameplay Mechanics: The combination of using superpowers, making moral choices, and exploring the open world sets the Infamous series apart.
- Potential to Become a PlayStation Exclusive Game: A new Infamous game could attract great attention as a PlayStation exclusive and contribute to the success of the platform.
Considering the developments in the gaming industry and the opportunities offered by the new generation consoles, the return of the Infamous series will both please the fans and allow the studio to showcase its creativity. The possibility of Sucker Punch returning to the Infamous series after completing the Ghost of Yotei project is considered an eagerly awaited development in the gaming world.
