With the original Thief series currently on ice—aside from a VR title released last year—fans are searching for something to fill the void. A promising Thief spiritual successor is finally on the horizon. Developed by OtherSide Entertainment, the studio led by veteran producer and Deus Ex creator Warren Spector, this new title promises high-stakes stealth excitement.
A New Thief Spiritual Successor: Thick as Thieves
The upcoming game, titled Thick as Thieves, focuses on the "art of the steal" through both single-player and co-op modes. It offers a fresh take on the stealth genre set within an alternate timeline. Players will navigate the atmospheric City of Kilcairn to execute their heists.
Early Access Details and Pricing
The game is scheduled to launch in early access on May 20. This Thief spiritual successor will be incredibly accessible, costing just $5 for players to join the ground floor of development.
Launch Content at a Glance
OtherSide Entertainment intends to expand the game significantly using player feedback. The initial launch package includes:
- An introductory campaign.
- Two dynamic, replayable maps.
- 16 missions to master.
- Six pieces of gear to collect.
By providing such a low entry point, the developers are looking to build a dedicated community from day one. This Thief spiritual successor aims to evolve and grow alongside its player base.
