For some, the PlayStation 4 doesn’t have a killer exclusive at launch. The likes of Killzone: Shadow Fall and DriveClub look great, but they’re not system sellers for everyone. That’s prompted some to lament inFAMOUS: Second Son’s Q1 2014 release window – but if a comment on an IGN Rewind Theatre is to be believed, you won’t be waiting long to play the superhero exclusive.
According to senior editor Greg Miller, the game is due out in February. This was supposedly confirmed during a live demo all the way back at E3 2013, which can be watched here. As mentioned, Sucker Punch has said that the title will release in Q1 2014, but hasn’t attached a more specific time period to the super powered excursion just yet.
While we wouldn’t consider this conclusive confirmation, February certainly makes sense. It’s clear that Sony’s hoping to use Delsin Rowe’s adventure to give its next generation system a fresh blast of momentum following its 15th November launch, and an early 2014 release for the platform’s most anticipated title would certainly help with that.

HAHA, just on time when xbone launches in my country.
Yessssss. I could get this as a valentines day present...
That would be cool X) I would like to buy this when i buy my PS4 (April XP)
That's a good release date, but it's so far away. I want this game so bad.
Feb is ok, but it is a shame it could not make the launch "window".
To me trickling games is better than open the flood games.....I mean xbox does have a bigger launch lineup however I see barely anything planned thats good within launch window outside possibly Titanfall.....thats it. Meaning while we are always expecting something within a couple months, xbox fans will have to wait full year cycles and constantly rely on 3rd party releases to tide them over.
I mean this year we had god of war ascension in the spring.....the last of us in the summer, and Beyond is going to be the fall with GT6 in the winter.....Sony's scheduling for games is astounding and the truly know how to always keep the gamer on edge when it comes to new games coming out within 3 months of each other.
I expect the same next year for PS4.
Second son in February, with The Order around may or june and then the fall and winter flooded again......its the perfect strategy for games.
I want this NOW! But I agree that's a good strategy...the latest "Fetch Trailer" blew me away. So hyped.
February would be the best time. It's just long enough for people who got the system for Christmas to enjoy it and for those who get the PS4 at launch who may be getting restless there will be a new release not too far off.
@get2sammyb You can scratch out the "may" now...Sucker Punch has confirmed to Polygon.com that the game will launch globally in Feb. 2014.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 and Lightning Returns is releasing in February, how will I be able to finish them in time for Infamous
@artemisthemp How about cloning yourself?
@Reverend_Skeeve I need money to pay for those games
@artemisthemp I see...then we have the same problem. But cloning would still be a valid solution...you could have 3 or 4 jobs at once...or sell a kidney, maybe?
