Let me get straight to the point of why I’m sharing this. I’m here to share some love for Sly Cooper. There’s a dedicated group of fans who are still waiting, fingers crossed, for Sony to approve a new installment in this captivating heist platformer series. We were all left on the edge of our seats with the cliffhanger in Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, and ever since, my trusty old Vita has been the only place I can dive into Sucker Punch’s classic PS2 trilogy. It’s a bit of a ritual to dust it off whenever I want to hang out with the Cooper Gang. But imagine if Sony made these beloved games available on the Switch. The Sly Cooper series stands out as one of PlayStation’s most enduring gems, a sentiment that only makes it more disappointing that both Sucker Punch and Sony let the series fade away back in the PS3 days.
Sure, Thieves in Time came from Sanzaru Games—a developer that poured passion into the project. Opinions were mixed, but they nailed the stealth gameplay that originally stole our hearts. So, Sony, if you take only one thing away from my plea, let it be this: bring Sly Cooper to the Switch. Don’t stop there—release it on PC, Xbox, and why not throw a mobile version into the mix? Just imagine the possibilities.
