The anticipation is building as Maze Theory, in partnership with Vertigo Games, gears up to launch Thief: Legacy of Shadow, an exciting addition to the stealth action genre. Set to release on December 4, this game exclusively targets virtual reality enthusiasts. With the compatibility of PlayStation VR2, Quest 2 or 3, and Steam VR-compatible headsets, fans are ready to dive into this immersive world.
Return to The City
Thief: Legacy of Shadow revisits The City, a shadowy realm introduced in the 2014 Eidos Montréal reboot. Known for its intricate rooftops and narrow alleys patrolled by the formidable City Watch, players will experience a city under the iron fist of Baron Ulysses Northcrest. Within this oppressive environment, players will encounter a new protagonist.
Meet Magpie, The City’s New Thief
Instead of the series’ familiar hero, Garrett, players will assume the role of Magpie, a skilled thief molded by hardship. Her journey begins with a legendary artefact discovery, unraveling a conspiracy buried deep within The City’s foundations. With the introduction of immersive VR mechanics, players can engage in stealing, evading, and outsmarting adversaries, making for a gripping experience.
Thief: Legacy of Shadow encourages creativity through pickpocketing, lock bypassing, and strategic use of arrows and tools. Every heist provides multiple routes and playstyles, empowering players to either sneak silently or engage threats from the shadows.
