inFamous 2 hints at a deep and complex back story that ties current characters to those of the first game, while at the same time unveiling new information on the origin of the Ray Sphere and its purpose. These become a springboard to embark on new missions and provide context to the story. It will come as no surprise that there are new factions and interests for the player to align themselves with. In turn, opposing the dominion of the Militia is the faction known as the Rebels, which fight a guerrilla war in the streets of New Marais with Militia thugs. The Militia, which opposes Conduits (people with special powers), at the same time provides protection from “the Corrupted”, tainted, biological abominations that roam the swamps around New Marais. It does not take long for Cole and company to get tangled up in the local politics. Upon arrival however, it turns out that New Marais has fallen into collapse with the power vacuum having been filled by a xenophobic, militant organization referred to as the Militia, lead by oil billionaire and evil tyrant, Joseph Bertrand. Once there, Kuo intends to put the game’s protagonist in touch with one of the scientists who worked on the source of Cole’s powers, the Ray Sphere, in order to see what can be done to boost MacGrath’s powers. Clean this threat proves to be beyond Cole and along with his best friend Zeke and government agent Lucy Kuo, Cole regroups in the coastal city of New Marais, which is clearly inspired by New Orleans. Looking somewhat like a giant, charred Mr. Out of the dust and smoke appears a terrible new foe, dubbed the Beast. Empire City has been ravaged by a mysterious virus and the fight over control over the city seemingly has ended. InFamous 2 picks up right where the first game left off. Will new powers, a fresh city to explore and different enemies be enough to rekindle the magic? Read on to find out… Two years later, the game, and Cole with it, is back, trading Empire City for New Orleans-inspired New Marais.

What set the first inFamous apart was the fact that it is a completely original IP, centered around bike courier, Cole MacGrath who, by virtue of a device called the Ray Sphere, received fantastic electrical powers. Progress: Finished campaign and all non-user generated side questsĭeveloper Sucker Punch brought us a sandbox-style, 3rd person, superhero game over two years ago, at the height of superhero game-madness.
