Sucker Punch has stated there will NOT be a Metroid-style power drain at the start, and that most of Cole's abilities from the first game will be accessible from the start of inFamous 2. There are many new abilities in inFamous 2, in addition to the ones from the original. She will become increasingly unhelpful and may even become one of Cole's biggest foes by the end. For example, if you choose order and join Kuo for the rest of the game, you'll also have to deal with Nix. Sucker Punch has said that many choices in Infamous 2 will be more far-reaching than in the original. At some point in the game, Cole will have to choose to join either Kuo or Nix, and depending on what choice the player makes, he will then have access to new ice or oil-based abilities, while being locked out from the other. Nix, on the other hand, is impulsive and rash, using her power over oil to create fiery mayhem across New Marais. Kuo represents order, and she has the power of ice at her disposal. Each side is represented by one of two new female characters. Good and evil have been relabeled Order and Chaos in Infamous 2. Like the original Infamous, the player will have to play through Infamous 2 at least twice in order to see everything. Even more interesting, Sucker Punch has said that there will be a choice part-way through the game that will lead you down one of two drastically different paths in the game depending on what choice you make. Infamous 2 will also allow the player to carry over their save files from the first game. In Infamous Jason Cottel voiced Cole and in Infamous 2 Eric Laiden took his place.

'We want him to be a little gritty, a little street, without the grumpiness,' says inFamous 2 art director, Mathias Lorenz.Cole's voice actor was also changed.

The reason for the redesign was to make Cole more likable and easier to sympathize with than in the first game. InFamous 2 overhauls protagonist Cole MacGrath. The third faction in the game, known as The Corrupted, are monstrous-looking beasts that resemble the Necromorphs from Dead Space. Ray Sphere explosions have affected cities across the country, creating hundreds, if not thousands, of new Conduits, and the Militia is determined to keep its streets pure, eliminating anyone that shows any signs of having superhuman abilities. A well-prepared, violent, and very dangerous group known simply as the Militia has seized control of the city, and they will replace the Reapers, Dust Men, and First Sons as the the standard enemies you will fight throughout the course of the game. He hopes to gain more power through their creations, and prepare himself for his inevitable battle with The Beast.Д¬ole finds himself in a heap of trouble from the moment he enters New Marais. He's searching for more of the First Sons technology, having discovered that New Marais was where the mysterious group first developed the Ray Sphere responsible for the powers Cole possesses. The reason for this decision was to keep the beginning of the second game from interfering with the multiple potential endings of the original, without having to go to the effort required to read the data on a player's hard drive and come up with two different plausible beginning sequences.ДЄlthough he ends up fleeing Empire City after being thoroughly trounced by The Beast, the ultra-Conduit hinted at in the original game, Cole didn't just arrive in New Marais solely to run for his life. Sucker Punch announced in their GameInformer article that the game will begin with Cole MacGrath (inFamous' protagonist) having a clean slate in the New Orleans-inspired city of New Marais, completely unknown to the citizens. It takes place in a new city, and introduce new powers and a new villain. The game was finally confirmed in an issue of Game Informer. The existence of this sequel to 2009's PlayStation 3 exclusive open world hit from Sucker Punch, inFamous, was originally leaked when Sony registered the site ' '.
