In case you have been hoping Sony would possibly resurrect the inFAMOUS or Sly Cooper franchises then I’ve unhealthy information. In a brand new weblog submit the creators, Sucker Punch, have confirmed that they don’t seem to be engaged on the franchises and neither is anybody else.
As our video games proceed to develop in scale and complexity, they require the total consideration of our studio. With our deal with our present venture, we now have no plans to revisit inFAMOUS or Sly Cooper proper now, and no different studio is at present engaged on tasks associated to these franchises both. These characters are very particular and close to and expensive to our hearts, so whereas we’d by no means say by no means to re-opening these doorways down the street, for now there aren’t any inFAMOUS or Sly Cooper video games in growth.
Earlier this 12 months there was a hearsay of a Sly reboot. Nick Shepsal from Xbox Period has then Tweeted “Okay…so, my supply *has* given me the inexperienced mild, however we’re nonetheless not 100% sure. But it surely’s believed that Pixel Opus (as lots of you’ve guessed) presumably in collaboration with Sony Animation are those engaged on Sly. I additionally imagine Sony Animation is on the cartoon venture”
Tipsters AccountNGT then backed this up with one other Tweet, “The subsequent Sly Cooper isn’t developed by Sucker Punch”, and in addition stated “In response to a supply, for Sly, they’re aiming for a reveal for the second half of 2022. Which is smart since later this 12 months is Sly’s twentieth anniversary.”
It seems these sources have been speaking out of their bottoms.
Whereas it has by no means been formally confirmed it’s an open secret that Sucker Punch are engaged on a sequel to their hit title Ghost of Tsushima. Having offered greater than 8 million copies, Ghost of Tsushima tells the story of lone warrior, Jin Sakai, who should defend the island of Tsushima towards unrelenting Mongol hordes. As we see all through his journey, there’s extra depth to this character than a vengeful swordsman as he struggles between upholding the samurai code and taking a more practical (but dishonourable) path to repel Tsushima’s invaders.
