Overview

  • OtherSide Entertainment said Thursday on Steam that Thick as Thieves will center on solo play and two-player co-op, replacing its player-versus-player-versus-environment setup.
  • The studio said internal tests were more fun in those modes, which led it to focus on dynamic stealth that improves moment-to-moment play.
  • A new gameplay trailer will debut at the Triple-I Initiative showcase on April 9.
  • The game has no release date, with outlets reporting an expected 2026 launch on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X.
  • Industry veterans Warren Spector and Paul Neurath lead the project, and reporters say the pivot steers clear of the crowded, hard-to-sustain PvPvE and live-service space.
