'PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale' brings in Evil Cole from 'Infamous'

PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale's ever-growing roster of characters now includes Infamous' Cole MacGrath — the "evil" version, that is.

His "good" counterpart was revealed as a PlayStation All-Star at Comic-Con in mid-July. Today's announcement came during the GameStop Managers Conference in San Antonio.

Evil Cole isn't a skin; he's a new character altogether. Infamous on the good path is completely different from the evil experience, and that's reflected in Battle Royale. Evil Cole is a more destructive fighter equipped with devastating attacks that can hit multiple opponents at once, and he can also drain Action Points (the game's health) from them. He's an offense-focused character who's effective at both close and long range.

PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale is set for release on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita on November 20th. It will be one of the first games under Sony's Cross Buy promotion, wherein fans who buy the PS3 version get the PS Vita version free.
