inFamous 2 PAL Release Date Confirmed: 8th / 10th June

EnglishSelect a Language:

Countries: AE, AU, GB, IE, NZ

I’m very pleased to confirm that inFamous 2 has now gone gold and will release across PAL on 8th / 10th of June – here’s how it splits out:

UK, Germany & Ireland: 10th June
Rest of PAL: 8th June

Undoubtedly one of 2011′s most eagerly anticipated titles, inFamous 2, the story of reluctant superhero Cole MacGrath, will, like the karma system in the game, offer a number of different choices when you hit stores come release.

As you may know, we have already announced the lenticular Special Edition – which comes with a powershot of extra digital content including the Electrocution Grenade power, Golden Amp and an exclusive Cole MacGrath skin from inFamous 1.

Alternatively, you can harness the power of a hero and pick up the luxury Hero Edition which comes complete with Lightning Hook downloadable power, Kessler skin, a Cole MacGrath figurine and inFamous comic from graphic novel legends DC Comics, a replica Cole MacGrath messenger bag and the inFamous 2 digital soundtrack.

But the choice doesn’t end there. Two exclusive inFamous 2 DUALSHOCK 3 Wireless Controller bundles will also be released in June. For those who want to play it safe, take home the ‘good’ DUALSHOCK 3 bundle where your copy of the game will come with a limited edition ‘cosmic blue’ wireless controller. And for the more morally ambiguous out there, take home the ‘evil’ bundle which comes with an exclusive ‘crimson red’ wireless controller.

Not only that, for fans new to the series, there’s also an inFamous 2 PS3 bundle available which comes with a copy of the game, 320GB PS3 console and standard black DUALSHOCK 3 Wireless Controller.

The Special edition, Hero edition and hardware bundles will not be available in all territories, so please check with your locale retailer for availability.

Shape your own destiny with inFamous 2 – exclusively on PS3 – and remember: ‘Being A Hero Is Optional’.

And here’s the inFamous 2 opening cinematic to whet your appetite.

I know this is silly posting this in the infamous 2 news, but will there be anything on WKC2/PSP this week?

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:13 pm by James Gallagher

Sure thing, I’ll sort something for either this week or next.

The only good thing that happened because of the PSN outage is that i get to play this fantastic game after i bought it after to years….
this game is underrated ….but i had a lot of fun play it …. can not wait to play the 2nd infamous.

How much will the dualshock bundles cost?

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:14 pm by link1983

For those who are wondering how the UK can get their mitts on the Hero Edition. Play.com are selling it for £99.99

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:15 pm by Roxas598

I was incredibly excited when i saw the hero ediotn for pre-order on play.com

until i saw the price. how can you charge 99.99 for it when it’s $99.99 in the US? i was appalled and quickly decided (along with a few others) that i would not be purchasing this anymore an answer would be great.

tbh if it was priced at 60-70 then i would pre-order straight away

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:15 pm by keirasdad

Thanks for this inciteful update,i have been waiting eagerly on the release of this title & now have an exciting choice of which i have to choose from(Luxury probably) as well as 2 new controllers

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:15 pm by Pesico

I want the crimson red controller. Hope it gets to Norway.

“Undoubtedly one of 2010′s most eagerly anticipated titles, inFamous 2, the story of reluctant superhero Cole MacGrath, will, like the karma system in the game, offer a number of different choices when you hit stores come release.”

Surely it’s one of 2011′s most eagerly awaited titles?

Ugh… that’s a horrible proofreading mistake from me. Bear with me… brain is still a bit fried from all the posts over the weekend.

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:16 pm by pn3b0y

why is he smiling in the evil case but not on the good case lol

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 2:45 pm by Elliott Linger

Cole’s not smiling on the evil case!

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:16 pm by Agriel

I need a new dualshock controller, I will most likely pick up one of those bundles, do the DS3 bundles just come with controller and game, or do they also have DLC?

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:16 pm by shaolinsword

I can’t wait for this game, I just hope some changes have been made

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:17 pm by X201

We need more themed controllers.

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:17 pm by Shadow-King

Cant wait to get my hands on this Now…………which version to buy?!

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:19 pm by RAD27-D

Thanks for not showing the actual controller, but just the boxes. Because the boxes are the important thing, not how the controller looks.

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:29 pm by jacksback21

Oooh excited! Like some people have mentioned, would like to see the controllers and not just the boxes!

Overall though, this is a great choice of editions. Nice to see the blog getting back to normal with quality posts like this.

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:29 pm by LaughingNabashin

Ooh ouch, £100 for that special edition? Think I’ll stick to what I know best, seek out the best deal for the standard one around all retailers.

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:29 pm by DKShadow

That’s one great looking hero edition. Hoping it’ll have a decent price tag to go with it

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:31 pm by Zopyrus

Getting platinum on Infamous (1) made me truly sick of this game, LOL. Will probably end up buying this one either way.. but please take your time making this sequel lool.

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:32 pm by thedude6666

Cool!!

I loved the first game well done by the way on making a great game there. Looking forward to the second installment, a must buy…

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:32 pm by nedubis

Looks great – one of my most anticpated games of the year.

Have to say… It is great to be talking about games again.

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:33 pm by Raniz

Does anyone know the price of and where I can buy the Hero Edition i Sweden?

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:33 pm by wotta

Can you confirm if the controllers in the bundle are the same ones which has been sold separately for a while now please? I already have a red one you see, so I would probably go for blue.

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:36 pm by TheWeeSteev

Quite fancy the controller bundle.. hmm red or blue?

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:39 pm by BlackZam

Is the hero edition gonna be releases in Sweden?

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:46 pm by Dante_Zero

will the pad be sold seperately. I’m gonna get the hero edition but i quite fancy purchasing pads aswell. however i don’t want three copys of the game just so i can get the stuff i want.

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:47 pm by Domino2097

Awww dang did you really have to announce the release date as the same one that Duke Nukem Forever has? lol

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:48 pm by ABTR

Hero Edition from me but, how can i check my country is available ? give as a link.. or something…

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:49 pm by Dante_Zero

also you might want to pass feedback onto whoever thinks up some of this marketing. That if your gonna release a ps3 with game bundle and are also releasing coloured pad with game bundles. Why on earth would you not put that in with the ps3. otherwise it ceases to be a special infamous 2 bundle. IT just becomes a ps3 with a game and nothing to make it any different from other retailer offer of PS3+1 free game

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:49 pm by Ctirad89

I have preorder Hero Edition, because the bag looks an amazing. But, ofcourse, another stuff are very cool!

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:50 pm by yarnboy

Will these controllers also be sold apart? Because I already pre-ordered my edition before this was announced

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:52 pm by OttoT

I still have to play 1 so I´ll see it when it´s in the budget bin.

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:54 pm by Wuddel

Ok. So the messenger bag. Is this real life size for 1.84m male? Or just a gimmick? Can it go toe to toe quality wise with say a Crumpler bag?

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 2:47 pm by Elliott Linger

It is indeed lifesize – and is a replica of the one Cole has in game.
Down to the Sly logo on the back.

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:55 pm by MK2flames

Don’t you mean a 500Gb PS3 with Wi-fi-N?
Because that’s what I wanted to hear, I’m waiting for 2 months almost for this E3 expecting one of two things, a PS3 price drop or a new SKU XD, since my original PS3 died on me

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 12:58 pm by Skarra

Will the Special and Hero Edition also include the Uncharted 3 Beta Access?

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 2:48 pm by Elliott Linger

Yes, they will

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 1:05 pm by MRigz

Didn’t think it was going to be out so soon. Great News, cant wait to play it.
Also, its great to see all things regarding “PlayStation” getting back to normal.

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 1:06 pm by Tieske

Looking forward to this one! I got my first platinum trophy on Infamous 1, great game.

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 1:10 pm by Omegabug2003

The Hero Edition I want it!

*drools*

Hope it’s available in the UK

#36 Funnily enough Infamous was my first platinum too – I was so proud

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 1:13 pm by bow7

That is not far away now. I better get cracking if I’m going to play through Infamous again before I hit the sequel. Keep up the good work Sucker Punch!

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 1:18 pm by elita411

Can you please say where can we preorder the hero edition for the UK? I don’t want the us version from amazon.

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 2:49 pm by Elliott Linger

Play.com is where you need to look

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 1:20 pm by DarkRecoil

Germany has to wait longer cause their government needs to censor 50% of the game right?

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 1:22 pm by ZzStalkerzZ

im just hoping playstation store is back online soon cuz i wanna play (and make myself sick of) the new vegas dlcs before this comes out lol

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 1:24 pm by Bearskopff

Agh! I can’t wait! I adored the first one. Honestly, I must’ve collected almost all available memorabilia for it. I just picked up a nice red DS3 too ready for my ‘not so nice person’ playthrough! Desperate for the Hero edition as I MUST have the Cole figure. Looks ace!

Was lucky enough to meet some of the guys from Sucker Punch last year at Eurogamer. Great guys, definitely getting my money (if I manage to rustle some up that is).

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 1:26 pm by GarethUbuntu

Nice! looking forward to it.

Quick Question:
What are the prices of each edition?

I’m interested in the hero edition (mostly just for the bag because it’s awesome!) but i’m hoping that isnt too expensive and i could possibly afford it with other games (F.3.A.R., Duke Nukem Forever, etc)when the time comes.

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 1:30 pm by Bearskopff

Hero Edition looks to be retailing at £99.99. Can only seem to find it on Play too so it looks to be exclusive to that retailer. Here’s the link though it may not work:

ARGH!
I was really hoping for a wordwide release on the 7th.
I booked that week off of work for E3 and Infamous and was hoping to have the week to play.

Any chance of some images of the dual shocks please James? Would love to get one, but I didn’t like the look of the KZ3 one.

Cheers

PS. nice to see some new news, other than PSN outage news. Cheers again

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 1:43 pm by VenomUK

Elliot this is great news. Can’t wait to see what’s changed and improved.

I am very happy to see the blog and PSN returning to normal. Hopefully gamers and Sony appreciate each other more in our mutually beneficial relationship.I think it’s true what they say, a new era has arrived.

This is the PlayStation Spring!

Posted on 17 May, 2011 at 1:49 pm by haIfy

Already pre-ordered my copy of the Hero edition I just want the bag plus the game too
