Set in an alternate history metropolis where technology clashes with magic, Thick As Thieves immerses you in a complex, detailed world of glittering wealth, a thriving criminal underclass, and a touch of magic.
As the upper class amasses wealth and power while the lower class struggles to survive, you weave your way through both worlds, pursuing treasure and glory with stealth and cunning.
Players engage in a unique competitive multiplayer experience, where infiltration, theft, and escape drive success. The game rewards clever tactics, planning, and improvisation.
Thick As Thieves exemplifies OtherSide's commitment to player-driven agency, creating an experience where each playstyle can unfold uniquely in a vibrant world.
Developer OtherSide Entertainment announced that, after laying off most of its employees, it is moving on from Thick As Thieves. After an upcoming peer to peer update, so the game remains playable, it is handing over the game to publisher Megabit . There was however no news on the fate of the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of the game.
My fellow thieves,
I am here today to talk about the future. I have heard your questions and want to answer them to hopefully put your concerns to rest.
Working in the gaming industry is at times delightful and at other times heartbreaking. As many of you know, OtherSide Entertainment has lost most of its beloved members and only a very small team remains. This means there will be no further content updates for Thick as Thieves. To be frank, this is not the outcome that any of us want, but we’re facing the reality that ongoing development of extra content, modes and systems is not a viable path.
Having said that, there is positive news also: in partnership with our publisher, Megabit, we are working to secure the future of Thick as Thieves for our players. This means that a small team of dedicated people are hard at work to ensure that the game continues to function into the future. This mainly involves putting together a new version of the game that uses Peer to Peer servers for co-op play. The gameplay and flow of your experience will remain virtually identical, but will not need the use of dedicated servers in the cloud. This will allow you to continue playing with your friends when you desire and importantly, solo play will be completely unaffected. Once this work is complete, Megabit will take over the care of the game and respond to bugs and other issues as needed.
We know that this news is bittersweet but our number one priority is to ensure continued operations of the game that we all love. Rest assured, fellow thieves, we are going to keep the game alive for you and all of us!
Until next time, tread softly, steal what you can, give nothing back!
