‘InFamous: First Light’ Release Date Announced On PSN


The InFamous: First Light release date has been announced via a listing on PSN. First Light is not a standalone game, but actually DLC for InFamous: Second Son.

Second Son is about a young man in Seattle who discovers he’s a super-powered human called a conduit. Much like previous games, and certain Marvel Comics movies, the military is hunting down humans with super powers and locking them up because of their potential danger to society.

Once protagonist Delsin Rowe discovers he is a conduit, he decides to fight back and stop the military from wrongfully imprisoning others of his kind. Much like Crackdown, InFamous: Second Son keeps tabs on your behavior depending on your moral stance. Both sides have their specific gameplay difficulty and some reviewers have pointed out that this morality factor weighs it down.

Now that Second Son has been available for a few months, a new DLC story has been announced via a trailer at E3 2014. The InFamous: First Light DLC release date has been set for August 26 and stars a female protagonist known as Abigail Walker (or Fetch) who tells the story of her past as she attempts to escape a prison for conduits.

It seems Ubisoft‘s habit of releasing standalone DLC titles is rubbing off on other companies now. Starting with Assassin’s Creed: Liberation, they began a trend of giving us spinoffs which borrowed some of the gameplay aspects from the main title, and every time it becomes a separate game by itself.

InFamous: Second Son gave PlayStation 4 owners their first taste of super powered combat, sating the thirst for destruction that Prototype left us with after its lackluster sequel. Xbox 360 and PS3 owners had to settle for Saints Row IV if they wanted a good superhero game this past year. It was a glitchy mess at times, but it made up for it by being ridiculously fun as well as poking fun at everything else.

The first standalone DLC for Second Son should be here in about two months. Are you ready for the InFamous: First Light release date?
