InFamous: Second Son Gets 19 New Missions, Graphics and Performance Tweaks in Day-One Update

InFamous: Second Son is here, and though it's third in the series, it seems to eschew the "tortured protagonist" role that Cole played in the first two in favor of someone who enjoys running around with powers, Delsin. That's what the critics have been saying, at least. The Sucker Punch title has just been updated with some new content that's supposed to add five hours to the game's play time.

Chief among this are the 19 new story missions added to the Paper Trail game and Web storyline. In it, players look to find out the reason behind the D.U.P's occupation of Seattle through the game and investigations on the Web. The story was co-created with ARG company 42 Entertainment, and will trickle down via updates over a six week period. Pre-order folks will get the Cole's Legacy DLC in this update as well, rounding it out to 300 MB.
