| 1 | * AccidentalDownerEnding: One that affects the series as a whole. Sanzaru intended to follow up on the game's infamous {{Cliffhanger}} with a DLC chapter, but for various reasons, they couldn't. Then in 2020, any hope of seeing a resolution from them was quashed by Facebook buying them out, meaning that the answer to the question of "[[spoiler:Did Sly ever find a way out of Ancient Egypt?]]" is likely to elude us for a long time coming. |
| 2 | * ApprovalOfGod: Creator/SuckerPunch on Twitter [[https://twitter.com/SuckerPunchProd/status/298860304836730880?s=20 expressed praise for the game]], stating that they had no issue with "handing over the Sly reigns to Sanzaru". Likewise, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8awfZTBkGk this GameInformer video]] had Brian Fleming, the head of Sucker Punch, refer to Sanzaru's work as "spectacular." |
| 3 | * BTeamSequel: ''Thieves in Time'' was developed by Sanzaru Games, an up-and-coming studio whose only notable work prior was ''The Sly Collection''. |
| 4 | * FranchiseKiller: The financial failure of ''Thieves in Time'', along with its [[ContestedSequel very polarising reception]] from fans and gamers, would go on to throw the series right back into a state of dormancy. A planned DLC episode set in Egypt, which would have very likely resolved or at least continued from the situation Sly found himself by the game's end, was promptly cancelled. A movie would be announced not long afterwards, but following years of silence and fellow Sony franchise ''Franchise/RatchetAndClank'' [[WesternAnimation/RatchetAndClank2016 having its movie]] turned out to be a critical ''and'' financial disaster, it too was silently cancelled. The last anyone has heard regarding any sort of new project was a TV series announced in the movie's place, but even that seems to have been cancelled as well. And if all that wasn't enough, any hopes of Sanzaru continuing where they left off were quashed after they were bought out by Website/{{Facebook}} in 2020 to work as an Platform/{{Oculus|Rift}} first-party studio. While it's unlikely the Cooper Gang will never ride again, it ''is'' likely to be a long time before that happens. |
| 5 | * TheOtherDarrin: Carmelita ''[[RuleOfThree yet again]]'' got recast for this game, being played by Grey [=DeLisle=]-Griffin as opposed to Ruth Livier. |
| 6 | * PromotedFanboy: Sanzaru Games, going from porting the original trilogy to the [=PS3=] to actually ''making'' a sequel to the series they love with the creators' blessing. |
| 7 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[WhatCouldHaveBeen/SlyCooper Shares a page]] |
| 8 | * WorkingTitle: "Cane of Destiny." |
