VR Thief Game Announced

Vertigo Games, Eidos-Montréal, and Maze Theory announce Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow, a return to the beloved Thief series of stealth games that may or may not be welcome news, depending on your outlook on it being a virtual reality exclusive coming to PC VR, PlayStation VR2, and Meta Quest. A Reveal Trailer illustrates the news with a look at gameplay. For more, steal a look at the description:

Experience the world of Thief for the first time in VR, blending classic stealth gameplay with next-gen immersion. Use your body to sneak past guards and your hands to pickpocket, pry open hidden compartments, and bypass locks through tactile interactions. Wield an array of arrows and tools to distract, disable, or eliminate threats with an arrow shot from your bow as you climb rooftops, sneak through back alleys, and uncover secrets in a dark, steampunk-inspired world. Every heist offers multiple paths and playstyles, whether you sneak past guards unseen or take them down from the shadows.

STEP INTO THE DARK AND DANGEROUS STREETS OF THE CITY The City is a place of shadows, ruled by the tyrant Baron Ulysses Northcrest. You are Magpie, a cunning thief orphaned by Northcrest’s brutality and shaped by the streets, who steals as the only means to survive. That is, until you uncover something greater: a legendary artifact holding a legacy from the past. Steal, evade, and outsmart the forces controlling The City to unravel its darkest secrets and expose a sinister conspiracy.

Playing in VR is like sailing the oceans, while others hug the coasts in sailboats.

I enjoy both truly, very fine times, but VR takes you to new whole experiences, that simply aren't anywhere else.

Of course, only for people that have the right necessary hardware, organic bioware and specially 3D space enjoying inclination

I am excited for this. There are some decent PSVR2 titles, but this one has an opportunity to shine.

Not sure how I feel about them using the Cyberpunk 2077 gimmick, but it could be a really interesting story despite that.
I should be coding.

Awesome! I'm looking forward to this.
Sneaking around in VR is waaaaaaaaaaaay more immersive than a M+KB with pancake screen.
Wake up people! Take the blue bill and fully embrace the virtual world you so desperately crave!

Thief is one of my favorite series. Played all of them going back to the original. I would love to see a new Thief game and the gameplay does naturally lend itself to VR. But VR just isn't that popular so this almost seems like either a test to see how popular the series may be or just doing something so the license doesn't stagnate. Irrelevant I cannot imagine it doing a large enough sales to warrant the cost.

It would have made more sense, to me, to build a normal Thief game with VR support so you are marketing to more people.

I was going to say at least they didn't try to bring Garrett back but then I watched the trailer.

Oh for God's sake. One of my all time favourite game series and they make a new one in VR for the 8 people who actually play games in VR.

Someone please get a decent story writer and studio back onto this series and bring it up to date. I'd pay hand over first for it.

If anyone is listening, I put up Viggo Mortensen as the perfect voice actor to stand in for the legendary Stephen Russell, if they won't bring him back: https://youtu.be/8CiuSr-6xP4?si=-BOSjRUbMlGHGSJx

We still have The Dark Project. Which has been playable in VR for quite a while, by the way.
