"If that had been the Cooper Gang's last hurrah, I would be more than happy to leave the anthropomorphic kleptomaniac crew in the PS2 days and play the old games on my Vita every few years. However, Sanzaru Games brought the series back in 2013 with the PS3 game Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time , and it ended on a devastating cliffhanger, stranding the titular thief in Ancient Egypt thanks to some time travel shenanigans."
"Sanzaru intended to resolve this with a DLC mission, but Sony pulled the plug on that, and the studio was acquired by Meta in 2020. So now, one of PlayStation's mascots has been in time travel limbo for over a decade, with no sign of a fifth game or DLC in sight. Could Sucker Punch go back and make a new game, saving its beloved thief from a fate worse than death? Nope. Apparently, the studio is just not interested in going back."
Sucker Punch Productions shows minimal interest in developing a fifth Sly Cooper game, with co-creative director Nate Fox indicating roughly 10% studio enthusiasm. The Sly Cooper series' last major entry was 2005's Sly 3, followed by a 2013 revival, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, which ended on a cliffhanger that stranded the protagonist in Ancient Egypt. Sanzaru Games planned a DLC to resolve the cliffhanger but Sony canceled it; Sanzaru was later acquired by Meta in 2020, leaving the franchise in limbo. Fans marked the series' 20th anniversary and continue to hope for any new Sly Cooper project from Sony.
