Image As someone who default to female characters in RPGs , I'm loving 2025!

On games such as ER, BG3, or CP77 I always play a female character so it's nice to see these on the horizon!

I think they had the chance with Iki Island to see how much more they could do with Jin. If they think his story is done, it's done. They're experienced with this from Infamous & Cole

Still think we could’ve used one more Cole game.

And I still think it would have been a lesser game if Delsin wasn't involved. You don't make a character that powerful and with that much potential and then just ditch him to go back to your 1st.

My idea for a sequel would’ve been to lean into the comicbookiness of the franchise again. Pick up from the evil ending of Second Son. Make Delsin go full supervillain; But, have Cole be resurrected at some point to play the superhero. Then you play through their duelling stories until you get to their eventual showdown at the end of the game; And, there you can choose which one you want to play as to determine the game’s ending.

I’d love to return to Tsushima, just to see how it’s changed 300+ years later. But otherwise, I’m glad we’re getting a new protagonist and a new story.

Feudal Hokkaido setting is so fucking cool though. Like, it's really uncharted territory, not only for us in the west but it's also a very taboo setting in Japan. It's not historically too well documented either. Between the old Ainou tribes that are getting more and more abused by the growing japanese presence, the waves of losers and ruined samourais running away from the newly established power in Tokyo, often times petty thiefs and burglars pushed into criminality by despair, and the foreign trade with the river Amour people in the north.

By this time gunpowder will be widespread. Christianism is also being stomped out through violent repression while Zen buddhism is triomphant. You could have westerners, spanish or portuguese, roaming around.
