Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time dated for Europe

Sony has staple-gunned a March 27, 2013 European release date to upcoming stealth-based platformer, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time.

The game will be release for both PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, and forms part of Sony’s cross-buy initiative.

Developed by Sanzaru, Thieves in Time sees the anthropomorphic Raccoon reuniting with his old gang in an attempt to recover the Thievius Raccoonus. Players who own both versions of the game can use the PS Vita as a pair of x-ray goggles to locate hidden items throughout the game via augmented reality.

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is due out in the U.S. on February 3.
