by Sage Ashford

Deus Ex director Warren Spector teams with fellow Thief developer Greg Lopiccolo to bring fans a new multiplayer immersive sim, Thick as Thieves. This new title sends players into a noir-ish big city of the 1910s, where players try to pull off the biggest heists while avoiding AI guards and other thieving players.
