Rumour has it that Sony is working with an unnamed developer to bring the first two inFAMOUS games to the PS5, a move that would give players a long-requested way to revisit two of the PS3 era’s best-known action games. The claim is still unconfirmed, but it spread quickly after a source said he had heard it from only one person and could not verify it.
The timing matters because the first inFAMOUS launched in 2009 and the sequel followed in 2011, leaving both titles, along with Festival of Blood, stuck in a place many modern players cannot easily reach. There is no great way to play the first two games on current hardware, which is why even a rumour about a PS5 collection has drawn so much attention.
The speculation gained more fuel when fans noticed that a 2022 Sucker Punch blog post had been removed after the rumour started circulating. That post had been blunt. Sucker Punch wrote that it had “no plans to revisit inFAMOUS or Sly Cooper right now, and no other studio is currently working on projects related to those franchises either.” The disappearance of that note did not confirm anything on its own, but it did sharpen the sense that something around the series may be shifting behind the scenes.
That would fit a broader pattern around Sony Playstation reviving older PlayStation brands. Earlier this year, Sony announced remakes of the original God of War Trilogy during a State of Play, a sign that the company is willing to go back into its catalogue when the timing and business case line up. For inFAMOUS fans, that has been enough to keep hope alive for years.
The friction point is simple: the demand is real, but the evidence is thin. The collection is still only a rumour, and the only source for it said he had heard the story from one person and had not been able to corroborate it. That leaves the first two inFAMOUS games where they have been for years — acclaimed, wanted and awkwardly stranded on old hardware — unless Sony decides to make the rumour real.
