'Valorant' Meets 'Thief' in a Massive Game Teased for 2026

OtherSide

What if you could pull off grand heists while facing off against other thieves and security guards? What if the scope of the game was massive and contained a main storyline, plus side objectives? Those are the questions that OtherSide Entertainment studio co-founder and chief creative officer Warren Spector and his co-founder Paul Neurath are asking with the announcement of their new game Thick As Thieves, slated for 2026.

The developers envisioned a tabletop-inspired game that is truly multiplayer, focused on telling each player’s stories and how they affect each other. The result is a four-person game that will simultaneously launch on PC and console. The version shown to Inverse during the Game Awards was a pre-alpha build, tested mainly by studio employees and not viewed by the outside world.
