About the Game

The City is a place of shadows, ruled by the powerful and feared by the oppressed. Its rooftops form a labyrinth above the narrow, twisting streets. The City Watch prowls relentlessly, enforcing the iron will of Baron Ulysses Northcrest, a tyrant who crushes rebellion before it can take root.

You are Magpie, a cunning thief orphaned by Northcrest’s brutality and shaped by the streets, who steals as the only means to survive. That is, until you uncover something greater: a legendary artifact holding a legacy from the past. Use immersive VR mechanics to steal, evade, and outsmart the forces controlling The City. Unravel its darkest secrets and expose a sinister conspiracy that looms over its very foundation.

Key Features:

  • A Legendary Franchise Returns: Experience the world of Thief in VR for the first time, blending classic stealth gameplay with next-gen immersion.

  • Master the Shadows: Stick to the darkness, evade patrols, and outmaneuver enemies with real-time stealth mechanics.

  • Realistic Thieving: Pickpocket guards, pry open hidden compartments, and bypass locks with tactile VR interactions.

  • Precision & Skill: Use an array of arrows and tools to distract, disable, or eliminate threats with immersive VR archery.

  • Explore The City: Climb rooftops, sneak through back alleys, and uncover secrets in a dark, steampunk-inspired world.

  • Choose Your Approach: Every heist offers multiple paths and playstyles—sneak past guards unseen or take them down from the shadows.
