Infamous 3 Rumors Reignite: Is Delsin Rowe Making a Comeback?

Ghost of Yotei is finally out, which means Sucker Punch is about to disappear into the glamorous world of post-launch patches and add-ons. The obvious question: after this Ghost cycle, do we finally get a real shot at Infamous coming back? Short answer: there is legit smoke this time, but keep your expectations on a leash.

Where Sucker Punch is at right now

Studio co-founder and head Brian Fleming told VGC the team is gearing up to pick its next big thing. For the first time in years, Infamous is actually in the room for that conversation. He did not say the words Infamous 3, but he did acknowledge fans want both a new entry and a remaster. The catch is their process, which has not changed since the Sly days: one game, total focus, for years.

'If we were good at juggling four projects, yeah, we would have a remaster and some fan requests. But we only get to do one thing.'

Fleming also compared choosing a project to picking a college major: they get to start one about every five years, and it dictates their lives for a long time. That rhythm has held since the early 2000s, moving from Sly Cooper to Infamous to Ghost of Tsushima and now Ghost of Yotei.

The practical timeline (and why you should be patient)

There is still a lot of Ghost on the way. Sucker Punch has Ghost of Yotei: Legends, the multiplayer expansion, planned for 2026. Given that, do not expect a new-project reveal until late next year at the earliest.

• Ghost of Yotei is out; post-launch support is underway.
• Ghost of Yotei: Legends (multiplayer) is planned for 2026.
• The studio operates one project at a time and typically ships about every five years.
• Fleming says fan demand for both a new Infamous and a remaster is on their radar.
• Next major project selection is happening, but nothing is announced.
• Realistically, any announcement lands late next year, not sooner.

So... Infamous 3?

The franchise has been on ice since 2014's Infamous: Second Son and its spinoff First Light. Fans have been circling this for a while, and you can hear the interest inside the studio too. Nate Fox, who directed every mainline Infamous, told Game Informer this summer that he would love to do more Infamous and would love to see a trilogy rerelease. He still stressed the same company line as Fleming: they are a one-game-at-a-time shop, and right now that game is Ghost of Yotei until the post-launch plan wraps.

There is also the Sony factor. Ultimately, PlayStation decides what gets greenlit. The hopeful nugget: back in 2015, PlayStation's Scott Rohde said, 'We are never going to retire an IP.' That does not mean Infamous 3 is happening, but it does mean the brand is not dead paperwork-wise.

Would Delsin Rowe return?

If Sucker Punch does pull the trigger on a new Infamous, the big question is the face of it. Delsin Rowe (voiced by Troy Baker) was a great PS4-era lead with a rebellious streak and some flashy power-stealing tricks. It has been 11 years since Second Son and First Light, and seeing those abilities with modern tech would hit. But for now, that is pure wish list territory. No character decisions have been announced because, again, no game has been announced.

What the fan chatter looks like

Since Ghost of Yotei launched, social feeds have been full of Sucker Punch appreciation posts and debates over what the studio should do next: more Ghost, a Sly revival, or an Infamous comeback. The appetite is there across the board, which does not make the choice any easier on the devs who can only pick one.

Bottom line

Infamous 3 is possible again, not just a daydream. The studio leads want to revisit it, fans are loud about it, and Sony historically does not kill IP. But Sucker Punch moves deliberately and only on one thing at a time, with Ghost of Yotei support running into 2026. If this happens, expect the tease late next year at the earliest, and expect a long, quiet grind after that. In the meantime, enjoy the Ghost updates and keep your smoke detectors on.
