The classic that once laid the foundations of the stealth genre is returning to modern devices. The remastered version of the 1998 game Thief: The Dark Project will be released on December 3, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG.
Developed by Nightdive Studios using their proprietary KEX Engine, the remaster will support 4K resolution at 120 frames per second. Alongside the original game and three bonus missions from the Thief: Gold expansion, this edition will feature an entirely new story campaign titled The Tarnished Mirror.
This new storyline serves as a narrative bridge between the first and second installments of the series. It was developed by the team behind the acclaimed fan expansion The Black Parade, whose work has been officially recognized as canon by the developers. Players can look forward to:
Pre-orders are already open. For example, the standard digital edition on the PS Store costs $29.99, while the Deluxe is $34.99. For physical media enthusiasts, three options are available: standard, a steelbook version, and a special Deluxe Trapezoid collector's edition for $69.99 (includes the game, steelbook, booklet, a unique box, and a physical remaster development diary).
