Infamous First Light

Infamous First Light is a standalone prequel to Infamous Second Son, focusing on the origin story of Abigail 'Fetch' Walker. Set in a gritty, neon-drenched Seattle, players control Fetch as she harnesses high-velocity neon powers to navigate the urban landscape, complete challenge arenas, and take down the Department of Unified Protection (DUP). The game is celebrated for its fluid traversal mechanics, satisfying projectile combat, and a darker, more personal narrative tone than its predecessors.

Gameplay centers on 'Neon' abilities, allowing for blistering speed and verticality. While it features an open-world Seattle, the core loop is tightly focused on honing combat skills through Curunir's training simulations and dynamic street encounters. The visual spectacle of neon light trails and particle effects remains a benchmark for the genre, providing a highly stylized superhero experience.

PlayStation-exclusive (PS4, 2014) — no PC version exists, so no Mac-native, compatibility-layer, or PC cloud-streaming option. Only playable via PlayStation Plus Premium cloud streaming on a PS console.
