Nothing Sly going on here
Today, Sucker Punch Productions published a message about its 25 years of games. In the process, it also confirms that no, it’s not working on a newĀ inFAMOUSĀ orĀ Sly CooperĀ game.
Sucker Punch says in its message that as its games continue to grow, they require the full attention of the studio. And being that it’s currently focusing on one project, the studio says it’s not working on any other one of its properties.
“As our games continue to grow in scale and complexity, they require the full attention of our studio. With our focus on our current project, we have no plans to revisit inFAMOUS or Sly Cooper right now, and no other studio is currently working on projects related to those franchises either. These characters are very special and near and dear to our hearts, so while weād never say never to re-opening those doors down the road, for now there are no inFAMOUS or Sly Cooper games in development.”
An inFAMOUS legacy
That pretty much settles that. Sucker Punch does go on to confirm its performing maintenance on theĀ inFAMOUS 2Ā UGC servers, to keep them running a bit longer. They will eventually be sunset, but Sucker Punch says it wants to keep them running “for as long as possible” for players who still want to dip in. The Cole’s Legacy DLC forĀ inFAMOUSĀ Second SonĀ will also be put up on the PlayStation Store in all territories soon.
It’s a bit of a strange announcement, though there have been rumors in the past of a return toĀ Sly CooperĀ revival and the like. This just seems likeĀ Sucker Punch getting out ahead of that, as it works on something it says is unrelated toĀ inFAMOUSĀ orĀ Sly Cooper. Sorry to all the fans of thieving animals.
