Because coming later in 2025 is Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow.<\/p>\n<p>Thief VR is a &#8220;reimagined&#8221; take on the once-great stealth series, taking players back to the City, &#8220;a place of shadows, ruled by the tyrant Lord Ulysses Northcrest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You are Magpie, a cunning thief orphaned by Northcrest\u2019s brutality and shaped by the streets, who steals as the only means to survive,&#8221; the YouTube listing states. &#8220;That is until you uncover something greater: a legendary artifact holding a legacy from the past.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For those not familiar with the series, that artifact\u2014assuming the trailer isn&#8217;t a big ol&#8217; misdirect, and spoilers ahead for a 27-year-old videogame, by the way\u2014is the artificial eye constructed by the Hammerites for Garrett, the hero of the first three Thief games. And Garrett himself seems to somehow be contained within, although that voice at the very end\u2014&#8221;I thought I was dead&#8221;\u2014doesn&#8217;t sound exactly like him. More like a pretty good imitation.<\/p>\n<p>In any event, here&#8217;s what&#8217;s on the table:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Steal with precision<\/strong> &#8211; Pickpocket guards, pry open hidden compartments, and bypass locks with tactile VR interactions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Master the Shadows<\/strong> &#8211; Stick to the darkness, evade patrols, and outmaneuver enemies with real-time stealth mechanics.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Precision and Skill<\/strong> &#8211; Master tools like the bow, blackjack, and water arrows with realistic haptic feedback<\/li>\n<li>Unravel a conspiracy in a city where shadows speak louder than words<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All of that does sound like a Thief game, and it has the right look, if you count Deadly Shadows among them, which I sometimes do and sometimes do not depending on my mood. There&#8217;s a decent chance that it could turn out to be a very solid VR experience. And as devoted as I am to Stephen Russell, if the Thief series is going to carry on, it probably is time for a new lead\u2014or at least to start making moves in that direction.<\/p>\n<p>None of which un-sours my mood. Superficial Thief trappings aside, the fact that this is trapped behind VR makes it essentially a non-entity. Which I don&#8217;t mean as a slight toVR fans, but simply a reflection of the fact that VR exclusivity limits the potential market size to the point where it&#8217;s almost irrelevant. It is, quite frankly, a space for spinoffs and throwaways, and maybe I&#8217;m being stubborn or cranky (or both, I am old, after all) but it genuinely rubs me the wrong way to see Thief, after such a long absence, end up in that pile.<\/p>\n<p>Gloomwood creator Dillon Rogers may not feel quite so strongly about it, but he definitely has feelings.<\/p>\n<div class=\"see-more see-more--clipped\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet hawk-ignore\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">VR only pic.twitter.com\/ZqkygtlSGV<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cantworkitout\/status\/1930380273306480924\">June 4, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"see-more__filter\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>(In my defense, I am at least consistent on this front: I was also pissed off when Ubisoft announced a <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/ubisoft-announces-new-splinter-cell-and-assassins-creed-gamesfor-oculus-vr\/\">new Splinter Cell game<\/a> that turned out to be a VR thing back in 2020.)<\/p>\n<p>Thief VR is being developed by Vertigo Games, whose previous releases include Metro Awakening and Arizona Sunshine, both of which are reasonably well regarded amongst the VR community, so that&#8217;s a point in its favor too if you&#8217;re into that sort of thing.
