Mat Kraemer, the designer of the PS3 Game Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, would love to return to the series, and he says the rest of his team at Sanzaru Games would too. But Sly Cooper is a𝕴 Sony-exclusive property, so🔜 Kraemer said Sony needs to know there's demand for more of the series before they'd greenlight a sequel.
The information comes from an interview Kraemer ꦏgave during an , where he revealed that he never would have ended the game the way he did if he knew Sony would never revisit the game.
Thieves in Time, the final Sly Cooper game, featured the titular raccoon thief and his crew traveling across time periods to rescue🅠 his ancestors and uncover a plot to erase them from the history books. The game, infamously, ended on a cliffhanger, with Sly finding himself stuck in ancient Egypt.
"Egypt was going to be a DLC episode. That was always the iꦿntention. I never got to finish that," Kraemer said. "The team at Sanzaru, we have the story -- we have the whole episode done on paper form, but we would love to come back to that world. I hate leaving him there. It's the question we get the most."
Unfortunately, returning to the Sly Cooper universe is ultimately not Sanzaru's decision to make. Sony would need to decide that Sly is worth re-visiting, and since Thieves in Time certainly wasn't the most financially-successful release (It was the ), it's likely not an idea that they'll c💖ome up with on their own.
"All I can say is,ꦫ if you guys want more Sly Cooper, let Sony know," Kraemer said. "We're always ready to dig into that. It was a great franchise to work on, and we really miss it."
In the meantime,ꦗ the old Sly Cooper games are only available on the PS2 and PS3, including a PS3 remaster of the original trilogy that Sanzaru𝄹 worked on themselves.
