What's in the InFamous: Second Son patch
Five hours of story, pre-order guff and tweaks.
There's an inFamous Second Son day-one patch available that adds a considerable amount of content: five hours of gameplay across 19 side-story missions.
Those missions form a Paper Trail story arc, which sounds like it's part Alternate Reality Game (ARG). It links with the game's Enjoy Your Power website.
Apparently there will be new content every week for six weeks, and it will flesh out the backstory of the game.
In addition, the 300MB update adds the pre-order Cole's Legacy Content Pack, and fixes and tweaks this and that.
InFamous: Second Son is out today exclusively for PS4. Here's our review.
