New Protagonist: Meet Magpie
Unlike previous games, you won’t play as Garrett—instead, you’ll become Magpie, a cunning thief orphaned by Baron Northcrest’s brutality. Your survival depends on stealing until you discover a legendary artifact that exposes The City’s darkest conspiracy.
Immersive VR Gameplay Features
The game features multiple paths and playstyles—sneak past guards unseen or take them down from the shadows. Players can pickpocket guards, pry open hidden compartments, and bypass locks using tactile VR interactions, creating an authentic thief experience.
With PlayStation VR2’s cutting-edge technology, physically crouch, hide, and move between shadows, making every movement feel real. Extinguish lights with water arrows or even your breath to expand your cover.
Why This Matters for VR Gaming
This marks Thief’s return after 11 years, collaborating with original creators at Eidos-Montréal. For esports and competitive gaming enthusiasts, this demonstrates VR’s growing legitimacy as a serious gaming platform.
