Rumors about a new Sly Cooper game have been circulating online, but reliable sources have confirmed these claims to be unfounded. Jason Schreier, a well-known journalist, clarified on Twitter that no such game is in development.
The speculation was initially fueled by Jeff Grubb during a video update, where he hinted at the possibility of a new Sly Cooper game causing delays for Ghost of Tsushima 2. This led to a flurry of tweets and discussions among fans.
However, Schreier quickly debunked these rumors, reaffirming that Sucker Punch is not working on any new titles in the Sly Cooper series. He also noted that the studio is smaller than most AAA game developers, which influences their capacity to manage multiple projects.
As of now, the last main installment in the Sly Cooper series was Thieves in Time, released in 2013. Despite the secret ending suggesting a sequel, there has been no confirmation of any new developments. Fans of the series will have to wait for any official announcements regarding future titles.
