It turns out that Sanzaru Games' upcoming title, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, will not be a PlayStation 3 exclusive. According to the developer (once again, Sanzaru Games), the title will also hit SCE's newesthandheld console, the PlayStation Vita. They announced on May 18th on the PlayStation blog that the full game will be available to play on the PSV. It will be released the very same day as its PS3 counterpart.

There will be a few minor differences between the two versions. Sanzaru Games' president and CEO Glen Egan stated in the blog post that the PlayStation Vita version will have both front and rear touch screen/pad support regarding gameplay. The motion controls of the system will also be utilized. ThePSV's compatibility with the PS3 will be used. The cross-save feature will allow the player to start playing the game on the PS3, save it, and continue the same game where you left off on the Vita and vise versa.

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is the fourth installment in the Sly Cooper series, and the direct sequel to Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves. There is no official release date that has been confirmed, but it will be 2012. Glen Egan has said to expect it to release in the fall of this year.
