inFAMOUS 2 continues to redefine the superhero tale, drawing players even closer this time around to the experience of being Cole MacGrath, an everyman turned superhero. inFAMOUS 2 introduces advanced elemental superpowers,  a devastating new melee fighting system, destructible urban environments, a vibrant, dense and interactive city with over 100 simultaneous characters on screen, and much more.  The electrifying new sequel brings to life the true superhero experience with a dynamic open world environment, cutting-edge graphics, large-scale gameplay moments and powerful cinematic sequences.

The next chapter continues the saga of Cole MacGrath as he takes a dramatic journey down the coast to the Southern city of New Marais, where he faces a new, darker entity, known only as "The Beast."  Testing his will and super-power potential, Cole must fight his way through New Marais and find the answer before the problem finds its own solution.  Throughout his journey Cole is once again faced with the choice to use his extraordinary abilities to save all of mankind or follow a more chaotic and destructive path.   This time around, Cole's karmic choices will directly affect the outcome of the story, providing for two vastly different endings and gameplay experiences.  During this leg of his journey, Cole can once again fluidly and freely navigate the city, scaling nearly every surface with dynamic parkour moves.  New Marais takes the open world genre to new heights and offers players a unique and evolving playground.
