PlayStation has had its fair share of iconic video game characters over the years. While they may not have a single mascot as strong as Nintendo's Mario, Sony is still likely a runner-up in terms of recognizable characters like Kratos, Ratchet and Clank, and Nathan Drake. Older players also likely associate characters like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon with PlayStation. Now, according to some interesting rumors, it looks like one of Sony's long-absent mascots may be making an unexpected return.
Sly Cooper is equal parts master thief and adorable raccoon man. He starred in four mainline titles between 2002 and 2013 which offered a mixture of platforming, stealth, and action. Although not the most prolific character, Sly was deemed a recognizable enough Sony mascot to appear on the cover of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, the company's answer to Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. franchise. A Reddit post by user BLAZERLIKESSODA detailed rumors about Sly's potential return, including the founding of Sneaky Devil Studios, a company including Sly Cooper veterans named in reference to the third game, and fans are very excited.
