It’s been several months now that rumors around a return of the Sly Raccoon / Sly Cooper license on PS5 have been around the web. The last time we heard about it was last March, through the AccountNGT Twitter account, which had to open a new account recently after the closure of its first. This time, it’s a certain Nick Baker, also known as Shpeshal_Nick, who puts these rumors back on the table, explaining that an announcement could be made in September 2022. In a podcast with the XboxEra site , he explains that no State of Play will be scheduled at least next June, that is to say during the E3 period (which will not take place this year, we remind you), but that Sony Interactive Entertainment could speak next September. This is when the announcement of the new Sly Raccoon / Sly Cooper could be made. Words that AccountNGT also validates according to its sources.
In 2023, it will be 10 years since the Sly Raccoon license has not been entitled to a new episode and it is not impossible that Sony Interactive Entertainment will bring this platformer to life on PS5. Between the renewal of the mark by PlayStation, the fact that some insiders claim that this new opus would be developed by the studio Pixel Opus (Concrete Genie) and not Sucker Punch who is busy working on Ghost of Tsushima 2, many clues seem validate the comeback of the gentleman burglar raccoon.
btw, the same source told me a few weeks ago that no big showcase was planned until September, which coincides another time an announcement in Sept.
