Irrespective of how a lot you may want a brand new Sly Cooper sport, it would not actually sound like anybody on the unique studio that made it, Sucker Punch Productions, is all that . Presently, the Notorious developer is getting ready for the launch of Ghost of Yotei, which is due out initially of subsequent month on October 2. That sport’s co-creative director Nate Fox not too long ago made an look on Minnmax the place he was requested 125 rapid-fire questions. On the subject of Sly Cooper, Fox’s response makes it fairly clear that proper now, there are only a few folks at Sucker Punch who would need to make it.
When requested about what share of the studio Fox estimated could be excited if he stated the following sport after Ghost of Yotei could be a brand new Sly Cooper, he had this to say: “10%.” After such a low determine was supplied, interviewer Ben Hanson expressed his shock, to which Fox responded, “It’s been a very long time, Ben, since Sly Cooper’s come out.”Again in 2022, a weblog submit from Sucker Punch even outright stated there are not any Sly Cooper video games within the works.
Fox himself served as a designer on the unique game–which got here out means again in 2002–reprising this position for the next two video games as nicely. But following the third sport’s launch in 2005, there’s solely been 2013’s Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, which was made by Sanzaru Video games, not Sucker Punch. So it has been two full many years since Sucker Punch made a Sly Cooper sport, having launched three full video games within the Notorious collection, and Ghost of Tsushima and Yotei within the meantime.
Lately Sly Cooper has principally been relegated to cameo fodder, having been referenced in each Ratchet and Clank: Rift Aside and Astro Bot. For now, maybe all you possibly can hope for is a modern-day port of the unique trilogy on the very least.
