Sucker Punch's next game will not be an inFAMOUS sequel, but an all-new intellectual property. That's according to industry know-it-all Shinobi602, who alluded as much in a NeoGAF post overnight. While we try to steer clear of the "insider" bubble, the poster's track record speaks for itself; he teased the likes of Horizon: Zero Dawn and Days Gone long before they were revealed, and has been behind several other accurate rumours.
It's been a while since inFAMOUS: First Light released, so we reckon that the Seattle-based studio is probably on track for an E3 2017 reveal. Job listings suggest that its new game will be open world, and it was linked with Spider-Man for a while before Insomniac Games was officially confirmed to be at the helm. We like inFAMOUS so we would have happily accepted another, but it's probably the right time for some fresh ideas from the firm.

I think Infamous was a PS3+ game if I remember right and loved it ever since. I look forward to see what there up to if this is true though!
bah. The next infamous game was one of those that wasn't announced but I was anticipating just the same. Second son had its problems ("side quests", length, graphics from 2014) but it is still one of my favorite games for ps4 because it is a blast to play. I was really hoping to see what they could do next with the series.
While I do really enjoy the inFAMOUS games, I'd be very interested to see what else Sucker Punch is capable of. They're a talented studio so I have faith it'll be decent, whatever it turns out to be.
I'd have been just as happy with a new infamous I loved the ps4 game, it will always be special for me as it was my first platinum trophy. I only have 3 but having new game, new hardware, a long weekend off work and the wife and kids away for the long weekend. What dreams are made of. Anyway I digress. A new IP would be just as welcome variety is the spice of life and all that
@ztpayne7 graphics from 2014? The game came out in 2014??
Personally I think they did a great job with graphics, espeically when using Fetch's powers
@B-I-G-DEVIL It was actually one of the free picks that they gave away as a result of that data breach lol. Maybe it came to plus a bit later though? Liked Amon Tobins soundtrack in the first game.
@ztpayne7 I think inFAMOUS is still one of the better looking PS4 games personally. When it shines, it really shines. Looks ridiculous on the Pro.
Interesting. It's nice to know they'll try something else. My question is how different it'll be from Sly and Infamous.
I thought we already knew they were not doing inFamous...That they had another team working on something else, a new(or different) IP. I still do think it's some sort of superhero game, or at least something that utilizes something similar to Speed with Fetch. Like the Flash.
But if it's a brand new Property, obviously not the Flash per say, then definitely in that direction. I'd love a very large world that can be traversed with ease. I'm excited. Sucker Punch is a talented developer. I'd love to see what else they've been cooking since inFamous back in the PS3 era.
Good news that they're trying something new. I'm a bit sour that it suggests it's an open world game though. C'mon guys. We get it. But not every game has to be open world.
Excited to see what they make next, really fun game play in their games.
@kyleforrester87 yeh, infamous 1 was on offer due to the psn being down. Infamous 2 was on plus. Loved both games. Both had different pros to each other. Boss fights in infamous where better, everything but boss fights better in the sequal. Even the stand alone dlc was amazing. Would love another infamous but they really would need to bring back cole and try to rectify second sons direction. So im happy there moving on. The one thing about second son I hated most was having the x button as jump. This interfered with the old way of doing things, via gliding through the sky while still capable of aiming and shooting. Thankfully the firmware update on ps4 allowed me to configure controls to have a way better experience than available.
Called it. I'm very excited by this aswell. E3 would be the best place to unveil this.
Hopefully we'll see it at E3, also glad its a new IP.
@B-I-G-DEVIL @get2sammyb sorry guys. What I meant to say is that the graphics may not beat out some 2016/2017 releases, but I still think it's a phenomal game. It's the reason I bought a PS4 and one of the most fun games to play. I'd like to see what they can do with infamous a few years into the PS4's life. I have a PS4 pro now but no 4K tv. Not getting one for the foreseeable future (bought the pro because my PS4 showed signs of dying)

Go and buy a 4k TV right now! Honestly my TV breaking forcing me to go 4k has transformed both Infamous SS and Titanfall 2. Going over 1080p into 1440p and 1800p the games just look amazing. I wont go into the technicalities because I dont know the terms and am really bad at explaining it. They aren't native 4k but they just look amazing! Those super powers look like they are bouncing off the screen. Read the forum post at comment 1 and I stand by that. The game looks Sick!
@themcnoisy just can't afford it right now. Only reason I was able to get the pro was by selling my Wii U (which I was going to use to get a switch, but this forced my hand). I'm like a year and a half overdue on a major raise and I just can't justify it because I bought a nice 55" led tv a year and a half ago.
The Last Guardian 2?
Still kinda bummed we never saw an Infamous 1 and 2 remaster for the ps4. Definitely would have picked those up in a heartbeat
I want infamous 2nd son 2, I like the story on that game and delsin is a fun character.
Was hoping for another inFamous game. Would've loved to see a return of Cole. It's Sucker Punch so I'm sure whatever its working on will be worthwhile but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to see them back on the inFamous IP sooner rather than later.
i really liked infamous 1 and 2, but couldn't hit it off with second son, and though i have first light in my library i've never played it. second son is a great looking game, particularly it's lighting, but it's missing something for me.. i think it's a zeke like character, to provide a comedy counterbalance. zeke's the best character from the PS3 infamous games, i found SS too po-faced or something. each time i've tried to finish it, i've found it too easy to put aside for something else. :-/ so i'm quite interested to see what they can do away from infamous and what kind of new environment they can build if it is to be an open world game.
