Following on from our packshot, pre-order and special edition unveil last week, we now have for you a brand new trailer for inFamous 2!

Over the past few weeks we have gone into more and more detail about the Karma system in inFAMOUS 2, this kicked off with the PlayStation Experience on February 1st where we unveiled Nix and Kuo, the representations of chaos and order in Cole’s world. If you missed this, check out the interview with Greg from Sucker Punch.

This was followed up by a post from Sucker Punch giving more info on the intricacies of morality in the game – and specifically looking at how one mission can play out in two very different ways. Have a look if you haven’t seen it already.

Now we have for you the Karma Trailer. In inFAMOUS 2, Cole will have new powers and will come across many crossroads. Ultimately it will be up to you to decide the path you want him to take.

Take a look at the below and watch out for how Cole’s look changes when he’s good and evil, get a sneak peek of a new faction he has to face, and a small taste of Cole’s new ice powers…

In inFAMOUS 2 – Being a Hero Is Optional.

Step into the DC universe and witness the epic power struggle between good and evil, as heroes and villains do battle to seize control of a city in ruins. But as the fight reaches a crescendo, Earth’s true enemy reveals itself and the need for a new legend grows even stronger…

Now, along with thousands of other online players you can create your own legend as you fight to become the ultimate super hero – or super villain. Battle alongside DC Comics heroes including Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, or take the side of arch villains like The Joker, Lex Luthor and The Scarecrow in iconic locations including Gotham City, Metropolis and Arkham Asylum.

You have the power. And with that power you can fight to save – or rule – the universe. The choice is yours – the next legend is you!

DC Universe Online launches across PAL markets from today!

DC Universe Online is the first massively multiplayer online (MMO) game on PlayStation 3 and the first online game based in the DC Universe, allowing fans to create their own superhero or villain while joining forces with their favorite DC Comics characters such as Superman, Batman and The Joker to aid in saving – or destroying – the planet.

To capture the true essence of the DC Universe and its iconic characters, Sony Online Entertainment tapped the top talent at DC Comics, including legendary artist and co-publisher of DC Entertainment, Jim Lee, who served as executive creative director for DC Universe Online and provided the art style for the game. Famed DC Comic Book writers Geoff Johns and Marv Wolfman were tasked with establishing the back-story of the Universe and creating thousands of compelling story arcs, epic quests and action-packed in-game events. For example, players might be tasked with rescuing Batwoman from the fear gas that Scarecrow has unleashed in Gotham City’s sewers, or battle Power Girl as they work with Lex Luthor to create an army of mutants out of Metropolis citizens.

DCUO combines the immersive environments and fascinating story arcs of MMOs with fast-paced, physics-based combat to deliver more super-powered action than ever before.

DCUO releases on both PS3 and PC – check with your local retailer for availability. For more information, head over to www.DCUniverseOnline.com.
