I have been highly interested in PSVR2 games since getting it, and even played some stellar titles, but this is the first game I felt truly excited to play.
During the Summer State of Play for PlayStation, a new trailer for Thief VR: Legacy Of Shadow was shown. Check it out.
The gameplay looks incredible in a sense of not just being a on the rails arcade game, and something with a little more depth than most VR titles have offered. It’s pretty clear where the team was going.
Richard Stitselaar, CEO of Vertigo Games, said, “We set out to create a VR experience where players don’t just play a thief; they become one. It’s a privilege to work alongside Eidos-Montréal and Maze Theory on such an iconic franchise and bring it to life in a way that’s never been done before. This is the kind of immersive storytelling and interactivity we believe defines the future of the medium.”
Steven Gallagher, Creative Director at Eidos-Montréal, “Thief has always been about mastering the shadows, using a mix of tools and wit to navigate its dark and dangerous world. Whether you’re sneaking through or taking a more direct approach with arrows and the blackjack, it’s a place full of intrigue. Seeing it reimagined in VR is incredibly exciting, bringing a whole new depth to Thief’s atmospheric world, and we can’t wait for both longtime fans and new players to experience it in virtual reality.”
About the game:
UNLEASH THE THRILL OF STEALTH
Experience the world of Thief for the first time in VR, blending classic stealth gameplay with next-gen immersion. Use your body to sneak past guards and your hands to pickpocket, pry open hidden compartments, and bypass locks through tactile interactions. Wield an array of arrows and tools to distract, disable, or eliminate threats with an arrow shot from your bow as you climb rooftops, sneak through back alleys, and uncover secrets in a dark, steampunk-inspired world. Every heist offers multiple paths and playstyles, whether you sneak past guards unseen or take them down from the shadows.
STEP INTO THE DARK AND DANGEROUS STREETS OF THE CITY
The City is a place of shadows, ruled by the tyrant Baron Ulysses Northcrest. 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. Steal, evade, and outsmart the forces controlling The City to unravel its darkest secrets and expose a sinister conspiracy.
A LEGACY REIMAGINED FOR VR
Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow is brought to you by Vertigo Games, the award-winning creators of Metro Awakening and Arizona Sunshine, in close collaboration with Eidos-Montréal, and is currently in development by Maze Theory.
