inFamous

Background

Cole, an everyday guy, sets out to deliver a package in the downtown area of Empire City. Present at the scene of a devastating explosion that rocks the metropolis, he barely manages to survive. As riots erupt in the aftermath, the city collapses into chaos and is overrun by powerful criminals. Quarantined from the mainland, the city watches as television broadcasts link Cole to the scene of the crime. Cole is now a wanted man, but he’s also wielding extraordinary powers as a result of the explosion.

As an evolving mystery unfolds, Cole must learn how to control and command his new-found super powers. He’ll need to master them if he’s to succeed in his search for the real culprits behind the blast – and rescue Empire City from complete anarchy.
