Board Thread:Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time discussion/@comment-1845428-20130129160801/@comment-5938643-20130211010242

As for the secret ending, I believe sanzaru DOES have another Sly in the works. For starters, i think they included this secret ending to give themselves some room to transition into the next, in the event that this Sly game would do well. As with movies that earn enough money, when games produce enough, the company is motivated to expand on the game with a sequel and thats how franchises are born. Thieves in Time HAS done well, so I believe it would be foolish of Sanzaru to stop right here. I dont even want to call the secret ending an "ending" because its more of a beginning. If they had wanted to end the game there, uncertain whether they should continue, Sanzaru would leave us with the regular ending and that sense of ambiguity telling us "there's as much of a chance for the series to continue as there is for the series to end".

But heres a reminder again of what we know:

-They have told us how passionately their team worked on the game (they are fans of the series, of course).

-During the livestream they asked the viewers if they would want to see another Sly.

-They included a secret ending that continues the cliffhanger.
