Sly 2: Band of Theieves Bags New Pics

Fresh details and new screens on Sly 2.

We dug up the latest details on Sly 2: Band of Thieves this morning.

Sucker Punch Productions are set to bringing back Sly, Bentley, and Murray along with a cast of new characters that work together to pull of a sting of big heists. Sly 2 will catapult players into a journey of thievery, with a plot full of drama, deceit, and surprising twists "that will keep you guessing who's really conning who," enthuses Sony.

Word is out that Interpol has excavated the robotic remains of Clockwerk - Sly's nemesis and sworn enemy of the Cooper clan. Sly and his gang discover the parts of Clockwerk are missing, and embark on a quest to ensure Clockwerk is never reassembled.

The game intends to immerse you into a world with no 'laws' or boundaries, offering an episodic storyline that mirrors the unpredictable, suspense-filled plots of the best heist/caper films.

Sly 2 blends many gameplay elements together, including stealth, thievery, platform adventure, combat, strategy, and exploration, into one game world. The adventure takes place across numerous locations, including Paris, Prague, India, the Canadian Wilderness and more, each with unique and diverse landscapes and environments all waiting to be explored.

Sony explained, "Players will enjoy immersive, story driven cinematics, including stylish movies that bookend each episode and keep the story moving forward, top-notch voice talent and a truly dynamic musical score."

A significantly upgraded rendering engine, with unique cel-shading technology is also promised. Watch this space for more when we get our hands on Sly 2 next month.
