Evaluation

Thick as Thieves launched on May 20, 2026 and received four post-launch updates between launch and late June 2026, adding gameplay features, balance changes, and bug fixes. On July 23, 2026, OtherSide Entertainment's Game Director posted a statement confirming that the studio had lost most of its team, leaving only a skeleton crew. He was explicit that "there will be no further content updates" and that new content, modes, and systems were "not a viable path." The remaining work — transitioning co-op from dedicated servers to peer-to-peer — was described as infrastructure preservation to keep the game playable, not new content. That peer-to-peer update shipped on August 19, 2026, accompanied by a final post from Megabit and OtherSide explicitly describing it as "our final planned technical update" and stating they "do not expect to release further bug fixes or technical improvements after today." Publisher Megabit has taken over care of the game going forward. Development is fully concluded. The August 19, 2026 update is the definitive final release, completing the game as it will exist going forward.
Evidence

Game Director Jeff confirms OtherSide Entertainment has lost most of its team, only a very small team remains, and there will be no further content updates — new content, modes, and systems are 'not a viable path.' The sole remaining work is transitioning co-op servers to peer-to-peer.

About this game

From Warren Spector (Studio Director - Deus Ex® and Thief®: Deadly Shadows), Paul Neurath (Exec Producer - Thief®: The Dark Project and Thief®: The Metal Age)

ENTER THE SHADOWS

Enter the shadows in this introduction to Thick as Thieves. In the shadow-draped streets of Kilcairn, fortune favours the bold. As a member of the Thieves' Guild, you'll undertake daring heists to claim precious heirlooms and uncover arcane secrets hidden within this alternate-history 1910s Scottish city, where magic and early technology have begun to collide.

Whether working alone or playing online co-op, only the most cunning will seize their fortune in Thick as Thieves! 

MASTER THE ART OF STEALTH

Play as one of two skilled thieves, each with their own unique talents and abilities and use observation and improvisation to pull off daring heists. Just make sure to stay hidden in the shadows.

BECOME A MASTER THIEF

No heist ever plays out the same way twice in Thick as Thieves. Whether playing solo or co-op in short play sessions, as you increase the difficulty from Novice to Master Thief, security layouts and guard configurations shift, creating dozens of distinct and highly replayable experiences. Every mission is an opportunity, and every opportunity can be approached creatively.

THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE JOB
Use all of your gadgets and abilities to gain your spoils. When things get complicated, use Slithersap to short-circuit security lights, toss a Smoke Bomb to break line of sight, or send out the Pickpocket Fairy to trigger switches from a distance. Whether you use stealth, distraction or subterfuge, all the tools are at your disposal.

WELCOME TO KILCAIRN

As a newly minted member of the Thieves’ Guild seeking to prove your talents, take on one of 3 Mission-types and 16 Contracts across a 4-hour campaign that will take you to two of Kilcairn’s well-guarded landmarks Plot your way through the streets and across rooftops to seize your fortune.
