What is Infamous: Festival of Blood?

Cole MacGrath returns as a blood‑thirsty vampire in a standalone, horror‑themed expansion that reuses the Infamous 2 engine and map. Set during the eerie Pyre Night celebration, the game blends open‑world exploration with beat‑em‑up combat and a spooky narrative told by Zeke Dunbar. The expansion adds new powers, characters, and a comic‑style cutscene creator, while supporting PlayStation Move and removing the series’ traditional karma system to focus on the vampire transformation storyline.
