It’s been a little while since inFAMOUS: Second Son sprinted onto the PlayStation 4 and dazzled us with its neon effects, and as such, following the release of spin-off inFAMOUS: First Light, it seems that Seattle-based studio Sucker Punch is finally starting to think about its next PlayStation 4 project. A new job listing on the organisation’s official website suggests that it’s busy planning out a sandbox game – try to act surprised.
The advert – for a Narrative Writer – states that the successful applicant will be responsible for collaborating “with content designers, writers, and creative staff, in creating original narrative content and believable characters for an open world game”. It stresses that candidates must have a good understanding of the genre, and must be capable of writing and editing “compelling and unique dialogue for a diverse cast”.
There were definitely hints towards the end of this year’s superhero escapade that we’d be seeing protagonist Delsin Rowe again, but, personally, we’d like to see the sequel centre on starlet Fetch. Sure, her powers may not be quite as diverse as Troy Baker’s alter-ego, but we reckon that she’s actually a much more interesting character. Also, we can’t get enough of those punk rock pink bangs.

Gee, I wonder what it could be.
Possible we hear more in December?
Please be something new instead of Sly or Infamous.
@Gamer83 It's possible, but I personally doubt it. They can't be much further than the planning stages right now.
Bring back Cole! I miss my Electric and Ice powers. I need dat Ice Launch back in my life
We want cole, we want cole lol. Delsin was fairly uninteresting. His powers sucked in comparison to fetch, like a watered down version and the story was terrible.need a decent story amd more side content. At least in infamous 1 and 2 there was missions to regain control of the map the side content in second son was poorly done
There's still the thing that Delsin shook every conduit's hand in the end when freeing them, possibly absorbing all powers, I'd love to see where they go from there. Infamous wasn't my favourite game ever, but it was a rock solid 7 for me, so I'd be up for further installments.
At launch, SP said that there would be more diverse powersets in the future of Infamous.
I really enjoyed both Second Son and First Light. The writing for both was solid and they were good fun.
More of that is fine by me.
Love the infamous games still to play second son yet though.will pick it up next year probs.platted infamous 1 & 2.great games
As much as I love the infamous series I would still like to see something new.
I want Sly 5 instead
I'd like it if we had a multiple playable characters like Fetch, Delsin and fingers crossed a resurrected Cole McGrath?
Deslin was a whiny angsty punk I'd really rather not see more of him as a game lead protagonist, I'd certainly prefer more of Fetch than him, but I'd expect the next infamous to follow his story arc.
please watch the language -Tasuki-
If they went with the bad ending from second son and the good ending from infamous 2. Cole could of been resurrected from the lightning bolt and Delsin could be the new Beast!
Yes yes yes. I really want another infamous. I actually liked Delsin as the protagionist and I would love to continue his story. Now that he's more powerful, he really needs an enemy to match his level.
Love this news!
Not another Infamous game with a sterile city. A new IP would be nice.
I don't want inFAMOUS to become an annual franchise, but I wouldn't argue against an early 2016 release.
@ztpayne7 yes, but we'd start the first six chapters with him gradually unlocking his powers after some convenient event occurred at the start of the game rendering him powerless.
inFamous: The Third Degree
@Scollurio I've had this idea for awhile that the evil ending (no spoilers) should be canon with the next game making Delsin so powerful that he is now the new "Beast" so some rogue conduits (maybe Fetch) have to find the one man who slayed the Beast.
@get2sammy I wonder if Sony have done something similar to Sucker Punch that they did with Naughty Dog & made them a 2 team studio?
I hope they move on to a new IP, make no mistake, I love inFamous something ridiculous, but I'd like to see a new non-cartoony stealth based open world IP from them. I know Sucker Punch + ninjas would be amazing, they have all of the right talents for it. I'd still love a new inFamous (or Sly) from them though. If they do, I want Delsin to the protagonist still, I really like him, and think his power is much better than Fetch's.
@adf86 I don't they could since Sucker Punch is a very small team (about 100 people), but if they could find a way for Sucker Punch to make games twice as fast without dropping quality, then they'd get my money twice as fast.
I'd like to see sucker punch take on space!
Would love to see an action packed stylish sci fi adventure with crazy mele combat against some alien baddies.
Well, Sucker Punch hasn't made a game that isn't sandbox since Sly 1 (which wasn't).
They could definitely be doing another open-world IP. Which I would prefer - inFamous is still cool, but they've made three/four (First Light/Festival of Blood) now and it never seemed like a property that needed to go on any longer than that.
Uncharted, really, was the only PS-exclusive property that deserved to continue.
Would be cool to get an entirely open-world Sly from them - maybe to coincide with the movie?
I'm hoping it's another inFAMOUS game, or a return to the Sly Cooper franchise.
@XFsWorld I think Sanzaru's got the Sly IP from now on. Not that I personally mind, since I liked Sly 4 more than the first and third Sly games. I'd rather have them make Sly 5.
@XFsWorld sucker Punch no longer do sly racoon they sold it another company, forgot the name
@johnny30 Sony owns the Sly IP, and Sony owns Sucker Punch. If they wanted to they could easily have Sucker Punch make another one.
On the subject of Sly 5 by Sanzaru, I really liked Sly 4, but I don't want to see them do another one. It was Sly 1.5 in most aspects of the game, and Sly 2.5 with extra playable characters outside of the 3 in the gang.
Wow a combo mixed missions with Delsin and Fetch working together playing one then the other in the same game epic!
I would love to see a Infamous where, you play as Kessler
I was new to both "Second Son" and "First Light" and I have to say, I really enjoyed them both. I do agree that Fetch's character was far mor interesting but I played both games from start to finish without any other other game to distract me.
My brother in law has an XBOX ONE and he likes to think its the better console with better games. He came round one day whilst I was playing inFAMOUS First light and he couldn't believe how good it actually looked. I guess he wasn't used to seeing anything that polished on his X1 lol.
