Sony has confirmed that inFamous will be released earlier than expected in the US, but is keeping mum on when we'll see the game in the UK.

The game will now be launched on May 26th over there, having been expected in June. While you'd expect the game to be released around then over here, however, the platform holder isn't confirming anything. "The release date for inFamous is still TBC for the UK. We'll confirm the exact release date shortly", a Sony rep told SPOnG.

We will, however, have the demo at the same time as US gamers. It will be out on May 21st both here and in the States.

Over in America, folk who pre-order inFamous at participating retailers will have the opportunity to get one of the following:

"- An exclusive ‘Gigawatt Blades’ Super Power: The Gigawatt Blades supercharges Cole’s arm into an instrument of destruction unmatched by any other melee weapon in game. Although very powerful, you’ll still have to use this weapon wisely, as it takes a considerable drain on your powers.

"- Limited-edition inFamous costume for Home Avatar - Look like one of the REAPER gang members.

"- Early access to the official Game Demo. Be one of the first to play inFamous on May 7th."
