Warren Spector's Thief Spiritual Successor Is Out Next Month, And It'll Only Cost Five Bucks

Outside of a VR game that launched last year, it looks like the Thief series is on ice for now. So what's the next best thing? It might be a spiritual successor in the form of Thick as Thieves from veteran producer and Deus Ex creator Warren Spector's studio, OtherSide Entertainment. A single-player and co-op game that's all about the art of the steal, it's one of several new titles launching in early access next month, and it'll cost just $5 to get in on the ground floor.

Set in an alternate timeline and taking place in the city of Kilcairn, Thick as Thieves will offer an introductory campaign set across two dynamic replayable maps when it launches on May 20. The game will feature 16 missions and six pieces of gear to collect, and OtherSide is aiming to develop additional content based on player feedback.
