Thick as Thieves, OtherSide Entertainment’s latest immersive game will see players going head-to-head to steal priceless loot. The reveal was just one of the many games announced at The Game Awards, with heads turning thanks to Warren Spector’s involvement.
Here’s the reveal trailer:
“With this game, we’re empowering players to create their own stories in a world that values observation, craftiness, and creative problem-solving.” Said Spector in a quote from the release statement. I’m really liking how this games combining that stealth element we’ve seen in Thief and upping the stakes with multiplayer.
Thick as Thieves will feature the following key elements:
- REPLAYABLE EMERGENT STEALTH ACTION PvPvE GAMEPLAY: Navigate a realm where every shadow and corner may conceal a fresh challenge—from watchful guards to devious rivals to the ever-shifting, treacherous city itself. Arm yourself with keen awareness and crafty skills to thrive in this unpredictable world.
- BE THE THIEF YOU WANT TO BE: Every mission is an opportunity, and every opportunity can be approached creatively. Observation, clever planning, and crisp execution are essential, but with other thieves around it’ll never be that simple. Improvisation and inventiveness will be key if you are to survive and thrive.
- THE CITY AND ITS ENDLESS SECRETS: Delve into the city, a world rich in characters, stories, and mystery. Learn about the powerful, the criminal, and the craven as you break into their strongholds and steal both their gold and their secrets. Explore your own personal storyline, mission by mission, shaping your destiny and your journey from a nobody to a legend of crime.
- A THIEVES TOOL KIT: Your rise through the ranks will open doors – literally. Pick locks, hijack alarms, bamboozle guards, silence civilians, conceal your presence, and escape with your loot bag full. Whether you prefer to play slow and quiet or fast and loud, all the tools are at your disposal. Mastering them will be your challenge as you match wits against diverse hazards and adversaries.
- LIVING WORLD ALTERNATE HISTORY SETTING: Step into a vibrant alternate-history metropolis at the dawn of the 20th century, where the glow of gas lamps, neon, and magic light the way. Keeping an eye on its inhabitants and their daily habits might just help you….maybe the housemaid has spoken to her husband, who has spoken to the barmaid after a few drinks…. Understanding the world and its mysteries is vital. The wise thief is the superior thief.
