In recent weeks, rumors have circulated suggesting that Sucker Punch Productions is developing Sly Cooper 5, sparking excitement among fans of the beloved franchise. However, these reports have now been officially addressed, with Sucker Punch confirming that there are no current plans to develop a new installment in the Sly Cooper series.

The studio stated that while they greatly appreciate the passion and support from the Sly Cooper community, their current focus is on other projects that demand their full attention.

While Sucker Punch has no plans to revisit Sly Cooper at this time, the studio has not ruled out the possibility entirely in the future. They emphasized that if the opportunity arises, they would be open to exploring new adventures with Sly and his crew, but for now, their focus is on their current projects.

As fans await more news, the Sly Cooper series continues to hold a special place in the hearts of gamers, with hopes that the beloved raccoon thief and his gang will one day return to the spotlight.
