Sucker Punch is currently finishing Ghost of Yōtei. But what about the inFamous series?
The inFamous series is one of the most memorable in PlayStation history: a dynamic, superpower-driven, morally-charged adventure franchise that has gained a large fan base since its release in 2009. The story of a man with extraordinary abilities immersed players in a world of a city on the brink of chaos, and the exploration, spectacular battles, and plot-altering decisions made the series unique. Subsequent installments — inFamous 2, Festival of Blood, and Second Son — solidified its cult status.
But currently, Sucker Punch, the studio that created the series, is unable to return to the brand. The developers admitted that they work "on one game at a time" and have dedicated the last few years entirely to Ghost of Yōtei.
In an interview with MinnMax, game director Nate Fox noted that while he would love to return to inFamous, the studio is open to another option — handing the series over to another team to prepare a remaster of the classic installments.
This decision would allow Sucker Punch to focus on new projects while giving fans a chance to relive the adventures of one of PlayStation's most iconic franchises. Sony owns studios specializing in remasters, such as Bluepoint Games and Nixxes, and perhaps they will be the ones to revive inFamous. While this is just speculation, the developers' open position inspires hope.
