Thief: The Dark Project was the boundary-pushing stealth game from 1998 that had you lurking in the shadows and dealing with foes from crotch level. For a game all about crouching, Thief left an unusually tall legacy and influenced countless other immersive sims - from Dishonored to Deus Ex. And now, modders are celebrating the landmark classic’s 25th birthday with a huge, unofficial expansion called The Black Parade.
“I am very proud to announce on behalf of our team Feuillade Industries that The Black Parade, our unofficial expansion for Thief Gold, is out today,” writes project manager Romain Barrilliot on Twitter, who’s also a level designer at Dishonored studio Arkane Lyon. “It’s a brand new game featuring 10 missions, 4 new tools, 30 minutes of gorgeous cutscenes and more,” he continues.
