The magical heist game Thick as Thieves is set to release on Steam on May 20, 2026. Developed by OtherSide Entertainment, featuring veterans from the Thief and System Shock 2 series, the game is set in the fictional Scottish city of Kilcairn. The setting blends magic and technology against a 1910s backdrop.
Initially planned as a PvPvE title, Thick as Thieves has been refocused on single-player and two-player co-op experiences. This change, announced on April 2, 2026, aims to sharpen the game's dynamic stealth gameplay. While some players expressed disappointment, developers have hinted that PvPvE modes may be considered for future development.
The game's launch will include two thieves, two maps, and multiple difficulty settings that alter level layouts. Console versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S have not yet been detailed, with the Steam release being the current confirmed platform.
