Sony announced that the Sly Cooper trilogy, the popular game series of the PS2 era, will come to PS5 and PS4.
The news that Sly Cooper fans have been waiting for a long time has finally arrived. Sony announced that it will release Sly 2: Band of Thieves and Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves for PS5 and PS4 in December. Thus, the entire Sly Cooper trilogy will become playable on modern PlayStation consoles.
Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus Was Released at the Beginning of the Year
Earlier this year, Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, the first game of the Sly Cooper series, was released for PS5 and PS4. At that time, fans wondered whether other Sly games would come, but did not get a clear answer.
Fortunately, this uncertainty is over. Sly 2: Band of Thieves and Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves will be available on PlayStation Store on December 10. As with other PS2 games, these two games can be purchased alone for $9.99. PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers will be able to download games for free thanks to the “Classics” catalogue.
Sony has not yet shared what new features and improvements will be included in these versions of Sly 2 and Sly 3. However, both games will likely feature slightly improved graphics, rewind and quick save features. Also, new trophy lists should be added for trophy collectors.
Thus, while the entire Sly Cooper trilogy will soon be playable on PS5 and PS4, only the Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time game of the series will not be directly playable on current PlayStation consoles. It is thought that Thieves in Time, which was released for PS3, will probably never be released for PS5 and PS4. However, it is a good development that at least the three Sly games developed by Sucker Punch have become easily accessible after many years.
