Sony’s staple-gunned a North American release date to Sucker Punch’s inFamous 2, confirming the electricity-charged sequel’s due out across the US on June 7, 2011.
In addition, the platform holder’s also lifted the veil on the previously rumored Hero Edition, which includes the following bounty of goodies: an 8.5” Cole MacGrath statue, a replica of Cole’s sling messenger bag, the infamous mini comic from DC Comics, and a collector’s edition soundtrack. As previously reported, it’ll set you back $99.99 USD.
Furthemore, the press blurb confirms that the bundle will also throw in a super voucher for exclusive in-game content such as the Lightning Hook, Electrocution Grenade, a Kessler character skin, and a 24K Gold Amp. Check it out below (click for full size).
"Combining all-new dynamic open world gameplay and an evolved karma system, the second chapter in the best-selling franchise promises to bring back everything fans loved about inFAMOUS and more," beamed SCEA’s VP of product marketing, Scott Steinberg.
"inFAMOUS 2 is Sucker Punch’s most ambitious game yet and is poised to once again be PS3’s summer blockbuster with a more visceral, emotional and powerful take on the true superhero experience,” he added.
