Sucker Punch rejects inFamous and Sly Cooper rumours

For quite some time now we have been hearing a number of leaks from multiple sources claiming that both the Sly Cooper and inFamous franchises are set to be revived. Sucker Punch Productions – the original studio behind both franchises – has now released an official statement squashing these rumours.

In a post published on their website, Sucker Punch Productions discussed the legacy of their older franchises as the studio nears its 25th anniversary. Aside from Ghost of Tsushima, Sucker Punch Productions are most known for creating both the InFamous and Sly Cooper franchises, with the studio revealing:

 “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.”

Offering a nugget of hope however, the studio said “These characters are very special and near and dear to our hearts, so while we'd never say never to re-opening those doors down the road, for now there are no inFAMOUS or Sly Cooper games in development.”

It is not uncommon for studios to deny leaks which end up being true, but if what Sucker Punch is saying is true, then fans of both inFamous and Sly Cooper will unfortunately simply have to continue to wait.
