Thick as Thieves Sets May 20 Release After Pivot to Solo and Co‑op

The shift to small‑scale co‑op signals a break from live‑service competition in favor of a tight, replayable stealth loop.

Overview

  • OtherSide Entertainment revealed the May 20 launch with a new gameplay trailer during the Triple‑I Initiative showcase.
  • The game will release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
  • Thick as Thieves drops competitive PvPvE to focus on solo play or two‑player co‑op, a shift the studio explained in a Steam post after internal tests.
  • The launch version features two playable thieves, two dynamic maps, six gear items, and 16 contracts built for short missions that change each run.
  • The stealth heist unfolds in Kilcairn, an alternate 1910s Scottish city that mixes technology with magic, from a team led by Warren Spector and Paul Neurath.
