Thick as Thieves somewhat fell off the radar after its announcement in December 2024, only to resurface recently with significant pivot. It’s no longer a PvEvP title, with OtherSide Entertainment instead focusing on solo and co-op play. To illustrate how the former works, some new gameplay has been revealed at the Triple-i Initiative Showcase. Check it out below.
From infiltrating deep vaults to stealing keys off guards and leaving calling cards, there’s quite a lot to delve into. Of course, not every heist ends quietly, and it’s very much possible that you’ll have to avoid capture to escape. It’s a short but sweet look at what you can expect when the full game launches on May 20th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
Contrary to what you would think, this isn’t based on Dan Santat’s graphic novel. Thick as Thieves instead takes place in Kilcairn, an alternative history 1910s metropolis where thievery is the business, and business is booming. You’ll start as an initiate who must work their way up the ladder, cementing their own legend.
New tools are unlocked as you ascend the ranks, but the twist is that no two nights are the same. You’ll need to use every bit of cunning and split-second timing to succeed. Stay tuned for more details en route to launch.
