Why Sly Cooper & InFamous Aren't Getting New Games
Despite the popularity of both series, developer Sucker Punch Productions has confirmed that there are no new Sly Cooper or inFamous games currently in development. The first-party PlayStation studio's first game was a Nintendo 64 platformer called Rocket: Robot on Wheels, but it really made a name for itself with 2002's Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus and its sequels.Sucker Punch then made the leap onto PlayStation 3 with the open-world superhero title inFamous, which spawned a trilogy of its own. While these two series put Sucker Punch on the map, it seems that new Sly Cooper and inFamous games are not on the agenda.
Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus introduced players to titular anthropomorphic fox Sly Cooper and his merry band of outlaws. The PlayStation 2 platformer sees players sneak, climb and fight their way around the world with the help of criminal associates Bentley the Turtle and Murray the Hippo. The game was followed by Sly 2: Band of Thieves, which made Murray and Bentley playable alongside Sly across multiple open-world environments. Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves rounded out the trilogy by assembling even more playable characters for a massive heist. The series continued with Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, which was instead developed by Sunzaru Games, but fans have long awaited a Sly Cooper 5 reveal with Sucker Punch back at the franchise's helm.

The title puts players in control of Cole MacGrath, a bike courier who gains superhuman abilities after a package detonates and destroys part of the city.
