Sly 2: Band of Thieves is a 2004 stealth action video game developed by Sucker Punch Productions and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 2. It is the second installment of the Sly Cooper series and the sequel to Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus.

In Sly 2: Band of Thieves, players primarily control the protagonist Sly, with the ultimate goal of acquiring pieces of the character Clockwerk[a] in each world. The gameplay is similar to the game's predecessor's but features various improvements. This includes features a health meter for characters, modifications to combat, a mission hub, and revamped gameplay for side characters, Bentley and Murray. Characters can improve using powerups and skill upgrades which can be unlocked by opening safes in each world, purchased by collecting coins, or and purchasing them from safehouses via Thiefnet.

Band of Thieves received generally favorable reviews and is often considered to be one of the greatest PlayStation 2 games of all time. It was followed by Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves, and was remastered alongside it and its predecessor for the PlayStation 3 by Sanzaru Games as The Sly Collection.

Alongside its successor, it was digitally re-released on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on December 11, 2024.[1]
