The Playstation 3 exclusive sandbox game, inFamous has been dated by Sony today. The game will release not in June, but in May, a date that sees early release treatment. It seems as if the developers are ahead of schedule and have managed to bring the game in full form by now.

Cole, an everyday guy, sets out to deliver a package in the downtown area of Empire City. Present at the scene of a devastating explosion that rocks Empire City, he barely manages to survive the event. As riots erupt in the aftermath, the city collapses into chaos and becomes overrun by powerful criminals. The city is quarantined from the mainland, and television broadcasts link Cole to the scene of the crime. Cole is now a wanted man, but he’s also wielding extraordinary powers as a result of the explosion.

As an evolving mystery unfolds, Cole must learn how to grasp his newfound super powers as he searches for the real culprits behind the blast in an attempt to rescue Empire City from complete anarchy.

The game is set to release on the Playstation 3 May 26th with a demo to be release shortly beforehand on May 21st.
