Overview
- Atari, Nightdive Studios and Eidos Montreal announced the remaster on June 7, 2026, and said it will launch this winter on PC and current and last-generation consoles.
- Nightdive is rebuilding the game in its KEX Engine and confirmed the release bundles the original 1998 title plus the extra missions and content from 1999’s Thief Gold.
- The remaster will modernize visuals and systems with improved textures, models and animations, small level fixes, and target output up to 4K at 120fps.
- Quality-of-life additions include a weapon and item wheel, a mission selector, controller support, achievements, built-in custom-campaign support, and behind-the-scenes material.
- The project is pitched as a preservation effort that keeps Thief’s light-and-sound stealth design intact while making the game easier to play today and likely reopening the series to new players and community modders.
