Thief of Thieves the comic book series follows Conrad Paulson, in his secret double life as master thief Redmond. There is nothing he can’t steal, nothing he can’t have…except the life he left behind. As he tries to piece together what’s left of his life before the FBI finally catches up to him, he realizes they are the least of his worries.
The video game adaptation of Thief of Thieves will follow Celia, the protégé of Kirkman’s comic book protagonist Conrad Paulson, the legendary thief known as Redmond, during her apprentice years. While the comic book series introduces Celia in a flashback, the game will detail how Celia became an accomplished thief of her own.
Thief of Thieves combines a strong, branching narrative with diverse gameplay, such as stealth, social engineering and lockpicking.
“We’re excited to broaden Robert Kirkman’s world with a mix of characters from the original plot and fresh faces” said President of Skybound Interactive Dan Murray. “Rival Games has created an excellent expansion of the original storyline and we can’t wait to share it with our fans.”
"Comics have always been close to our heart here at the studio, and Thief of Thieves obviously resonates with the team as a crime story" told Jukka Laakso, the CEO of Rival Games. "Our cooperation with Skybound has been fruitful from the start, and we've been enjoying some great input from their creative team."
