Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time travels to the year 2013

Sony exclusive platformer Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time has been delayed until "early 2013" according to a new Gamescom trailer - shown below.

Previously, it was expected to come out later this year.

The good news is Sanzaru Games' follow-up to Sucker Punch's trilogy of cartoon capers will feature Sony's new Crossbuy feature where buying it for the PS3 or Vita automatically makes the other version free.

It also enables connectivity between the two systems where playing on the Vita will help unearth treasures in its console brethren.
