As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation upon hearing about Thick As Thieves. The pedigree of the team behind this project is nothing short of legendary, with Warren Spector and Paul Neurath at the helm, two names that have been synonymous with groundbreaking games for years.

A captivating new multiplayer game titled “Thick As Thieves” is being developed by OtherSide Entertainment, helmed by Warren Spector and Paul Neurath who are renowned for creating the immersive sim genre. This forthcoming stealth-action game will submerge players in a PvPvE (Player versus Player versus Environment) environment, with the setting taking place in an alternate 1910s timeline.

In this setup, Neurath holds the role of Creative Director at OtherSide, while Spector takes on the position of Studio Director for their Austin branch. Spector’s name is synonymous with System Shock, Deus Ex, and the Ultima series, while fans are familiar with Neurath’s work from Thief and the Ultima series along with Spector as well.

At The Game Awards 2024, Thick As Thieves was officially unveiled, offering a sneak peek into the heist-style gameplay where players must secretly snatch an item from a specific location and make a clean getaway. But remember, you won’t be the sole pursuer of this precious loot as other players will also be on the lookout to sabotage your efforts or claim the prize for themselves.

This game appears designed to accommodate various play styles. If you prefer action over stealth, a tactic that involves running and gunning might suit you better. Essentially, it’s about achieving success and ensuring your adversaries are outmaneuvered and left in a difficult position.

In the setting where your heists occur, you’ll find it plays a significant part. You’ll be gathering intel from various characters, unearthing hidden truths about the city’s criminal network, and influencing the narrative based on your decisions. It’s inspired by the creative minds behind immersive sims, making for an engaging experience.

The specific launch date for “Thick As Thieves” hasn’t been announced yet, but it’s set within the year 2026, and players can expect to find it on PlayStation 5 and PC through Steam.
