OtherSide Entertainment and Megabit Publishing have announced that Thick as Thieves will cost $4.99 when it releases on May 20. Additionally, future plans for the game have also been unveiled.
The initial launch, according to a press release, will come with an “introductory campaign.” The setting and the stories within it will expand with future updates. Said introductory campaign will feature “16 missions set across 2 dynamic replayable maps along with 6 pieces of gear to unlock across a campaign that runs at least four hours.”
In a quote, Paul Neurath, CEO of OtherSide Entertainment outlines the choice: “Kilcairn is an early 1900’s alternative history city setting we’ve always wanted to explore beyond a single story. Releasing this introductory campaign gets players into the world of Thick as Thieves and gives them a meaty taste of a world worth returning to.” Check out a recent developer walkthrough of Thick as Thieves below:
Thick as Thieves will launch on PC via Steam on May 20. It will release later for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The Steam page describes the game as follows:
Chart your rise to master thief in a glittering, gloomy 1910s metropolis blending industry, magic and intrigue. Your choices unlock unique playstyles and strategies that shape your thief character. Tell your story through a fusion of emergent multiplayer gameplay and dynamic storytelling. Immerse yourself in a living world where no two nights are ever the same, ensuring endless challenges and discoveries.
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.
Every mission is an opportunity, and every opportunity can be approached creatively. Observation, clever planning, and careful 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.
