Thick as Thieves, the magical heist title from stealth veterans, lands on Steam on May 20. OtherSide Entertainment and publisher Megabit revealed the date in a new trailer shown during the Triple‑i Initiative showcase. The game’s world, a fictional Scottish city called Kilcairn, blends sorcery with early‑20th‑century tech against a 1910s soundtrack.

At launch, players choose one of two thieves, traverse two maps, and complete 16 contracts featuring six gear pieces and shifting layouts. Originally pitched as PvPvE, the team pivoted to solo and two‑player co‑op after testing showed the mechanic felt more rewarding. A brief developer note teased that PvPvE might return later.

Console releases stay uncertain; the title was initially announced for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, but today’s reveal focuses on Steam first. Fans disappointed by the PvP removal voiced concerns, prompting a short reply that PvPvE could surface in a future update. The pedigree—Paul Neurath and Warren Spector—underscores the game’s promise of refined stealth action.

With a launch date set for May 20, gamers can expect a polished stealth‑action experience rooted in the genre’s history. The shift from PvPvE to co‑op tightens the focus on dynamic gameplay, while the rich atmospheric setting offers a fresh take on magical heists. The community’s reaction will shape any future PvPvE plans, but for now, Thick as Thieves delivers a solid solo or duo adventure.
