New rumors suggest Sony could be revisiting one of its most loved PS3 franchises as interest in classic PlayStation IPs grows again.
Out of nowhere, Infamous is back in the conversation — and for longtime PlayStation fans, that alone feels surprising. After spending years sitting quietly on the sidelines, the fan-favorite superhero series is suddenly at the center of fresh rumors claiming Sony may finally be working on a comeback.
A new Infamous project is reportedly in development, with early rumors pointing to remakes or remasters of the first two games for modern PlayStation hardware. What makes the rumor even more interesting is that Sucker Punch, the studio that originally created the franchise, apparently is not involved. Instead, the project is said to be underway elsewhere within PlayStation Studios.
Nothing has been officially confirmed, and even the people discussing the rumor admitted the information currently comes from a single source that hasn’t been fully verified yet. There’s also a chance the project may have changed internally or quietly disappeared altogether. Still, that hasn’t stopped fans from getting excited online.
The original Infamous games built a loyal following during the PS3 era thanks to their mix of open-world exploration, electric superpowers, and player-choice morality systems. They weren’t perfect, but they had personality — the kind of messy, fun energy that made them stand out from other action games at the time.
For years, fans have been asking Sony to revive the series. The company has mostly focused on newer blockbuster franchises while older PlayStation IPs slowly faded into the background. That’s why even the possibility of an Infamous revival feels like a big deal.
There’s also a strange little detail adding fuel to the rumors.
Back in 2022, Sucker Punch publicly said there were no plans to revisit Infamous or Sly Cooper, and that no other studios were working on those franchises either. That statement has since been removed, which naturally caught fans’ attention almost immediately. Was it just a cleanup on an old post, or a sign that plans changed behind the scenes? You know for sure, but the timing is definitely raising eyebrows.
Another interesting piece of the puzzle came from comments last year by one of the studio’s directors, who said they would personally love to see an Infamous collection one day. They also made it clear the studio itself wasn’t developing one because it focuses on a single project at a time. Looking back now, fans are wondering if that comment may have hinted at something bigger happening elsewhere.
The rumors also fit into a larger shift many players have been hoping to see from Sony. According to multiple insiders, PlayStation has reportedly started exploring ways to bring back some of its older franchises as the PS5 generation enters its later years and eventually the PlayStation 6 era.
could mean remakes, remasters, or even full reboots handled by different studios. And honestly, most fans seem perfectly okay with that. For many people, seeing these classic franchises return in any form is better than watching them stay forgotten forever.
Right now, there’s still no official announcement, so expectations should probably stay in check. But after years of silence, hearing Infamous mentioned again feels enough to get people talking. Because if Sony really is digging through its old PlayStation vault again… who’s next?
