Sly Cooper is right up there with Crash Bandicoot, Jak & Daxter, and Ratchet & Clank as some of Sony's most memorable platformers. Unfortunately, just like Jak & Daxter, it appears that Sony has completely forgotten about Sly Cooper. To make matters worse, there's nothing related to Sly Cooper that's officially in the works right now, unlike Jak & Daxter, which is getting a live-action adaptation helmed by Ruben Fleischer.
However, several subsequent reports from a trusted insider as well as other peculiar happenings suggest that it's only a matter of time before the master thief makes its way back to PlayStation consoles.
Back in October, XboxEra co-founder Shpeshal_Nick claimed that someone privy to Sony's plans told him that a fifth Sly Cooper game was in development. Two weeks later, Nick made a follow-up tweet saying that the unannounced Sly Cooper project is still in its early stages.
Although the rumor mill hasn't churned out info on Sly Cooper much lately, the past few weeks have been different. Specifically, trusted insider AccountNGT has made multiple statements telling readers that Sucker Punch Productions is not in charge of Sly Cooper 5 and that it will be revealed in the second half of 2022.
