Infamous: First Light is slated to come out on Aug. 26.

The game will be 1080p and will have about 4-5 hours worth of gameplay, according to GameSpot in a report on Monday.

The game is an expansion for the PS4 title Infamous: Second Son.

Nate Fox, the game’s director, elaborated on the expansion.

“When Second Son shipped we were excited to see that players got so emotionally invested in Fetch. Her conflicted history and overall attitude made her the perfect fit for a standalone game,” he said.

And he added that the tone is “pretty damn dark.”

“First Light is pretty darn dark. Fetch’s life on the streets was tough, her time in Curdun Cay being trained as an assassin was equally rough. Through it all she’s still Fetch, no one can keep her down, but she has to fight her way out of some harsh situations,” he said.

Fox said that the $14.99 price isn’t too steep.

“Don’t be fooled by the $14.99 price tag; there’s a lot here to discover. The campaign is about 4 to 5 hours long, but afterwards we unlock some new abilities and challenges for the player to achieve in the Battle Arenas,” he told GameSpot.

PlayStation says of the game: “Locked up in a prison for super powered humans, Fetch is forced to relive tragedies from her past. Unravel her dark secret in Seattle while battling to escape snowy Curdun Cay and seek vengeance against those who wronged her.”

For those who have pre-ordered the DLC, they'll get a DUP costume for Fetch.
