Thick As Thieves Will Have Us All Sneak Out Into A New Experience

Thick As Thieves

It is time to become Thick As Thieves with the latest stealth game that we had announced recently also called Thick As Thieves

Grab your thieves’ tools and gear up to head into a new video game experience with Thick As Thieves. A new title that OtherSide Entertainment and Megabit are working on that gives us pretty much what the title is alluding to. A new stealth game where we are taking up the role of thieves in a multiplayer setting to see who can get the big score first. All of which on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC when Thick As Thieves is ready to launch. That will not be until 2026 as of now, but we do have some fun things to look at for the game. Well, at least something fun to look at and get us in the mindset of what we can expect in the mix out there. Let us pick a lock and see just what this heist is going to all be about in a few years.

That is the basic overview of Thick As Thieves, but as you can see in the cinematic reveal of the game just a little lower, it is going to be a PvPvE style game where we will be placed against other thieves trying to snatch the same item. Each with their own personality, skills, and reasons behind it all. That is where we, as the players, will need to figure out how to get into the building, grab the items, and get back out. All without alerting any of the guards out there and, hopefully, without the others seeing us. As it does look like after we snatch the items in Thick As Thieves, the second part of it all kicks off where the other players can use their abilities to stop us from getting away and then collect the prize for themselves. Here is a look at how it might play if we are all experts in the game. Depending on how much changes between now and when the game drops in 2026. A whole lot can happen between now and then.

Thick As Thieves — Announcement

OtherSide Entertainment and Megabit, announced Thick As Thieves, an immersive stealth-action multiplayer game set for release in 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Led by gaming veterans Warren Spector, Greg LoPiccolo, and Paul Neurath, Thick As Thieves invites players to navigate a 1910s metropolis where every shadow conceals new challenges, from rival thieves and watchful guards, to a richly detailed city that changes with each heist.

Set in an alternate-history metropolis where technology clashes with magic, Thick As Thieves immerses you in a complex, detailed world of glittering wealth, a thriving criminal underclass, and a touch of magic. As the upper class amasses wealth and power while the lower class struggles to survive, you weave your way through both worlds, pursuing treasure and glory with stealth and cunning.

Players engage in a unique competitive multiplayer experience, where infiltration, theft, and escape drive success. The game rewards clever tactics, planning, and improvisation. Thick As Thieves exemplifies OtherSide's commitment to player-driven agency, creating an experience where each playstyle can unfold uniquely in a vibrant world.

Key elements of Thick As Thieves include:

  • 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.

Thick As Thieves will launch in 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Where do you stand on Thick As Thieves based on what we have to see or will you need more true gameplay to be able to make that call? Will we have a bunch of different thieves when the game fully drops or will we get to make our own and kit it out with different powers/skills instead after all the development is done? How smart will the guards in the game be and will they hunt us down just as harshly as other players will? Sneak on down to the comment section to discuss it all and everything else that we have to look at and share out there. We will have more for Thick As Thieves, so please keep on checking in for all of those updates and the many others that are on the way out there. I am sure it will be worth stealing some of those eyeballs and time along the way.
