Thick As Thieves Gets May Launch Date

Thick As Thieves, the immersive sim heist game by Otherside Entertainment, has a launch date. A new trailer that premiered during today’s Triple-i Initiative revealed the game is coming on May 20.

Set in an alternative version of the 1910’s in the fictional Scottish city of Kilcairn, Thick As Thieves is a stealth adventure that can be played alone or in two-player co-op (the game recently ditched its PvPvE mode). Players control thieves who must uncover the secrets of the Constabulary and the mysteries surrounding the nobility by breaking into guarded areas and swiping their fortunes and learning their secrets. 

The dynamic world is designed to encourage creative problem-solving, similar to the design of series such as Thief and Dishonored. Players can also take on contracts and upgrade their gear as they complete what Otherside describes as “short, engaging missions that change with every playthrough.” Thick As Thieves is helmed by immersive sim veterans Warren Spector (Deus Ex, Thief), Paul Neurath (Thief and Thief II).

Thick As Thieves is coming to PC on May 20. The game was originally announced for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S as well, but there’s no word on when to expect those versions.
