Sly Cooperfans had almost given up hope on the possibility of a sequel as it has been nearly 9 years since the last entry in the franchise released. However, hope for a newSly Coopergame was renewed when rumors began to swirl about another addition to the franchise being in the works, and now a leak suggests that a reveal could be coming sooner than fans expect.
ASly Coopergame allegedly started development last summer, but the details surrounding the project were scarce at best. Some of the leaks surrounding the possibility of a newSly Coopergame noted that fans could expect to see a reveal for the game at a State of Play event that has now come and gone or some time during this year.

Another leak has now surfaced stating that a reveal for an unnamedSly Coopergame should arrive in the second half of this year. This would make a lot of sense if it happens to be the case, as the reveal would likely coincide with the 20th anniversary of the franchise.
This information comes from the same leaker who has also claimed another former Sucker Punch Productions game is also in the works. Whileboth aSly CooperandInfamousgame are said to be in development, strangely, neither of the two titles are rumored under the Sucker Punch Productions banner. This is owing to the belief that Sucker Punch’s next game will be a follow-up to the popularGhost of Tsushima.
While a 20th anniversary reveal sounds promising for the reveal of aSly Coopergame, fans should keep in mind that the20th anniversary of theJak and Daxterfranchisehas come and gone without any information relating to the possibility of a game being in development.
The difference between the two franchises, however, is that no rumors have surfaced regarding the possibility of aJak and Daxtergame being developed, and while rumors are only as reliable as the sources they come from, the sheer number of rumors relating to theSly Cooperfranchise is a good indication that fans should expect something this year.
A newSly Coopergame could be good for the PS5, as theRatchet and Clankserieshas enjoyed a decent amount of success on the platform so far. ASly Coopergame on PS5 could be even more successful thanRatchet and Clank: Rift Apartwas owing to the franchise’s relatively sizable fanbase.
