Thick as Thieves launches May 20, 2026 for five dollars - made by the team behind Deus Ex and Thief. But before you buy, there's important context. This game completely changed direction weeks before launch, scrapping its original 4-player competitive design for solo and two-player co-op.
What you're getting is an introductory campaign - 16 missions, two maps, at least four hours. Set in a fictional 1910s Scottish city where steam technology and arcane magic coexist. The pedigree is exceptional. The concept is genuinely exciting. But five dollars tells you this is chapter one, not the finished product.
Watch the breakdown, then the gameplay footage does the rest.
