Long before it became a PlayStation studio and dabbled in feudal Japan with Ghost of Tsushima, the Sucker Punch studio got its start in video games with Sly Raccoon, an action-platformer that many are also familiar with. The first episode was released in 2002 on PS2 and its success allowed the studio to develop three more episodes and a compilation. If we thought the series was abandoned, rumors have been multiplying for several days announcing a probable return for this year, exactly for the 20th anniversary of the series. The first to spill the beans is none other than the AccountNGT Twitter account, which confirms from a reliable source that the raccoon thief will make a comeback this year. It even goes further to say that the announcement of the game will be made in the second half of the year 2022.
I can corroborate that a new Sly Cooper and a new Infamous are in development. https://t.co/ymgwhJyJW3

It’s hard not to listen when this AccountNGT throws out information like this, he who made himself known on his leaks around Hogward Legacy, the next Star Wars Eclipe from Quantic Dream, and more recently on the postponement of Forspoken which he anticipated several days before the official announcement. This is all the more impactful since a user noticed that Sony Interactive Entertainment renewed the Sly Cooper domain name on March 4, which bodes well for a project that has been underway for a while. Can we expect a real sequel, or rather a remaster compiling all four episodes. At the writing of Jeuxactu, we think for the remaster, Sucker Punch not having been able to work on such a project with Ghost of Tsushima in parallel. Otherwise, still according to the statements of AccountNGT, the inFamous license would also be in the pipeline, the last episode dating back to 2014, for the release of the PS4 …
According to a source, for Sly, they are aiming for a reveal for the second half of 2022. Which makes sense since later this year is Sly’s 20th anniversary. https://t.co/TsO3nf8Ofx
