79w ago - Sanzaru Games President Glen Egan has officially introduced Ninja Master Rioichi Cooper from Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time today.

To quote: We have hunkered down to concentrate on making Sly Cooper: Thieves in Times the best game of 2012!

Over the summer, I spent a lot of time showing our progress on the game and talking about how we are making sure we stay true to the core of the Sly Cooper series - but now I want to start talking about the NEW things we are bringing to Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time.

When we played the old Sly Cooper games on the PS2, we loved the stories about the Cooper clan ancestors and their various thieving abilities. Something that is really exciting and fun for Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is that you can not only travel back in time to meet these ancestors but you will also have the ability to play as the Cooper Clan ancestors!

As you proceed through the game each episode you encounter features a new time period with a new playable ancestor. Each new member of the Cooper clan has their own unique and powerful abilities that opens up a whole new range of game play in the huge environments.

This is one of the coolest aspects of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time - meeting these characters, learning more about them, and then getting to experience...
