employs their witch hunt against anyone and everyone suspected of carrying the Conduit gene. This specific event begins a journey for players that immediately takes them to Seattle - which like many cities at this time, seven years after the events of inFAMOUS 2 - is under strict surveillance and borderline Martial law as the D.U.P. Unlike other Conduits who typically have superpowers based around a specific element (ice, electricity, etc.), Rowe has the unique ability to absorb the powers and memories of others, first discovering this when a Conduit prisoner transport crashes through town and he comes in contact with someone who can control smoke - the ability showcased in most of the marketing and trailers for inFAMOUS: Second Son.
Little does he know that he's a Conduit, a person with special powers who society views as "bio-terrorist" thanks to the media and the propaganda disseminated by the Department of Unified Protection (D.U.P.), an organization tasked with rounding up Conduits and placing them in containment. Rowe is a 24 year-old Native American who spends his time as a self-proclaimed "delinquent," spray-painting graffiti in public spaces.
The third game in the inFAMOUS series brings back the idea of super-powered individuals with a new protagonist in Delsin Rowe and a new setting in real-world Seattle, home of developer Sucker Punch Productions.
Sucker Punch's inFAMOUS: Second Son is the first major 2014 exclusive for Sony's PlayStation 4, the game fans have been waiting for since it was announced alongside the console early last year.
