Everyone bickers about PlayStation’s most popular platforming double-acts: Jak & Daxter or Ratchet & Clank? But this author’s always felt that Sly Cooper is secretly Sony’s best platforming property – in fact, if you haven’t played PlayStation 3 entry Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, then we strongly recommend digging out a copy.
The developer of that instalment, Sanzaru Games, did an incredible job of retaining the spirit of Sucker Punch’s stealth series, while still injecting plenty of its own personality. And it’s admitted that it’d be open to a sequel. “We love Sly,” lead designer Mat Kraemer told Kinda Funny Games. “We would love to come back to that world.”
He continued: “We are always ready to dig into that and it was a great franchise to work on. It was a great project. So, all I can say is that if you guys want more Sly Cooper, let Sony know.” Oh, we definitely will, Mat. Are you reading this, Hermen Hulst? How would you like to solidify your new role as Worldwide Studios chief and greenlight this?

Yes.sly cooper is awsome.sly cooper thieves in times is amazing.one of tbe best games i ever play.the boss fight is one of a kind.they could make a sly Cooper 4 on the ps4 or bring sanzaru games and make sly cooper for ps5 .but i would rank them like this .1 ratchet and clank. 2.sly cooper.3.jak and daxter.4.little big planet.word up son
I'm down for more sly, once it's a full game. I'd take the Animated series too.
We need more remaster collections of these games. Infamous, Sly, Jak, etc. With the PS5’s b/c it would be nice to have an updated version to play on all systems moving forward.
I adore Sly Cooper, but I'm not sure I'd want Sanzaru back on the case. Thieves in Time was a perfectly okay, safe Sly game, but it, like Sly 3 before it, is just the framework of 2 with more stuff - and not necessarily for the better. 3 and 4 are too bloated with extra characters that aren't really fleshed out and fun. 2 is far and away the best game in the franchise to me, and although I still adore it, if Sly returns for a 5th outing he'll need some radical evolutions to the formula to be made relevant again.
I love Sly along with Jak and Ratchet and would definitely love to see our raccoon friend return on the PS5.
@playstation1995
I knew you'd show up.
Of course we want more Sly.
Word up!
@SirRealDeal. 😄 hahaha.oh yeah playa.sly cooper is one of my favorite franchises ever.ps5 launch game will be awsome.word up son
Sly?
Yes please....
A new Sly would be amazeballs!
Let me know when I can pre-order my Day One Steelcase Edition:)
I love Sly Cooper and think they’re the greatest platforms of all time. However, Sanzaru shouldn’t make any more of them. They made a high-budget fan game. It was a good game, but a step back in every conceivable way from Sky 2&3. Replacing gadgets with costumes that can only be used at very linear points was terrible. All the extra playable characters were Sly with only one unique costume to use. I don’t think they’ll advance Sly Cooper to the next-gen and make an amazing open-world their game. I fear it’ll be another time capsule game with a budget price release.
Again, I did enjoy Thieves in Time, but calling it worthy of Sucker Punch’s games is wrong.
While what they did was fine in the PS3 era, I fear they risk killing Sly more in the PS5 era.
"We would love to come back to that world".
I'm sure you would. That's why you left the cliffhanger, right?
I've been letting Sony know for a while now. I've wanted a sequel just because of said cliffhanger ever since I beat it years ago. They brought it back after Honor Among Thieves' ending, so bring it back and give me proper closure again, dangit!
Sorry, but I don't know who sly is.
Yes we want more Sly dammit. Would love sly 5 and I’ve been asking for it for ages. Though remakes of previous titles on PS5 would also be cool...
That art style intrigued me when I first saw some gameplay footage of Sly 1 on TV. I really hope they do another one. I miss it.
I've always prefered Ratchet and Clank that I never really took any interest in Sly until PS3. That was when I played it for the first time. Really enjoyed it and would love to see all of them + a new game come to PS4 and/or PS5. Day 1 buy for me if Sony does it.
Sly is my fave Sony franchise ever so i definitely want it to return, sadly though Thieves In Time sold really badly from what i remember, so the chances aren't looking good
Loved Sly 1 [the Crash style game play was cool] , Sly 2 was alright, Sly 3 was a chore and I wanted to punch my screen every time "THE MURRAY" made his stupid fat ass appear, and Sly 4 was better than Sly 1.
Mixed bag for me.
I'd love to see another Sly cooper game. Shamefully skipped the series when it was on PS2, but gave it another chance on PS3 and enjoyed it enough to buy Thieves in Time.
I enjoyed Sly but it's certainly no Jak and Daxter in my opinion.
it would be awesome to see the next chapter of sly cooper!! but im not sure how to contact sony about wanting more sly cooper. i did let them know but hope i didnt contact them in the wrong contact place on their website.
@DerMeister i need to know how to contact sony.
I have to admit, it’s been awhile since I thought about the Sly Cooper games. I especially loved the PS2 installments. I’d definitely like to see the series revived.
Sly cooper? yes thank you.
I am currently replaying all of the sly games, and it still sadden me the ending of Sly cooper: thieves in time.
so please make an another game
I would absolutly LOVE another Sly game I have waited for so long for that day and still does it today I really hope that the sequel continues!! <3
Hi. So, I have 2 questions:
1. Can DreamWorks have the Sly Cooper movie rights?
2. How do I let Sony know we need more Sly Cooper? Which website do I need? Also, what's their email address?
