Sly Cooper also coming to Vita

Sanzaru Games president Glen Egan has confirmed that Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time will be released on PS3 and Vita simultaneously this autumn.

The games will be identical and also allow for the transfer of save data between the two versions, much like Konami’s upcoming Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.

The portable version will contain all the same awesome Sly Cooper action you will find on the PS3 along with cool Vita-specific features that incorporate the front and rear touchscreens and motion controls,” Egan said.

The game will also feature cross-save capability, so you’ll be able to save the game from either machine and then pick up right where you left off — whether you’re at home or on the go.”

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time was announced in March and followed the release of The Sly Cooper Collection on PS3 last November.
