Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time hits Feb. 5

Sony has finally selected a specific moment in time for Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time to release. The company today announced that the action game will arrive February 5 in North America for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.

At launch, the game will be available both at retail and through the PlayStation Network. The game is also one of the first titles to take advantage of Sony's new Cross Buy promotion. As part of the offer, gamers who pick up the PS3 version of Thieves in Time will get the PS Vita iteration for free.

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is the first core entry in the series developed outside of Sucker Punch Productions, but Sony has tapped a studio familiar with the source material for the project. Sanzaru Games, which contributed to 2010's Sly Collection, is behind Thieves in Time.
