Finally, we can see gameplay from Maze Theory and Vertigo Games’ virtual reality game. It’s about time!

In the city, shadows reign supreme, and the powerful oppress the weak. Its rooftops form a labyrinth above the narrow, winding streets. The City Watch prowls the streets, relentlessly enforcing the iron will of Baron Ulysses Northcrest, a tyrant who crushes rebellion before it can take root. You are Magpie, a cunning, orphaned thief shaped by the streets who steals to survive. That is, until you uncover a legendary artifact holding a legacy from the past. Use immersive virtual reality mechanics to steal, evade, and outsmart the forces controlling the city. Unravel its darkest secrets and expose a sinister conspiracy looming over the city’s very foundation.

Experience the world of Thief in virtual reality for the first time, 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. Shoot an arrow from your bow while climbing rooftops, sneaking through back alleys, and uncovering secrets in a dark, steampunk-inspired world. Every heist offers multiple paths and playstyles. Sneak past guards unseen or take them down from the shadows.

Why do we say it’s about time we got to see the game in action? The answer is simple: Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow is scheduled for release this year on PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, Meta Quest 3, and Meta Quest 2, and it’s already October. Time is running out!

However, we would like to add that perhaps Thief deserves more love than just a VR game… when can we get a new, full-blown PC/console title in the franchise?
