VR Stealth Returns: Thief's Decade-Long Wait Comes to an End This December
In a move that promises to reinvigorate the classic gaming franchise, Thief is set to make its long-awaited VR debut this December. Vertigo Games' title, aptly titled "Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow", marks a new chapter in the storied stealth series, one that spans approximately halfway between the events of the original trilogy and 2014's reimagining.
Players will take on the role of Magpie, an agile thief with a penchant for getting in – and out – undetected. Their quest begins when they stumble upon a mysterious eye artifact tied to a dark past. Operating in a city ruled by the tyrannical Baron Ulysses Northcrest, Magpie must navigate treacherous alleys, avoid deadly traps, and execute daring heists under the watchful eye of their adversary.
Gameplay footage shared by Vertigo Games has showcased the game's immersive VR capabilities, allowing players to become fully immersed in the world of Thief. The game will be available on Meta Quest, PS VR, and SteamVR, with a base price of $30 on both platforms. Early bird deals can already be snagged for $27 on Steam.
With its release date now confirmed for December 4, fans of classic stealth gameplay are poised to experience the thrill of Thief's legacy in virtual reality like never before.

I'm freaking out about this VR Thief game!!! 
It's been ages since we last saw a new installment and now it's finally coming! I love how they're bringing back Magpie, she's such an iconic character 
. The gameplay vids look insane, can't wait to sneak around like a pro in VR 
. And $30 is a steal, especially with those early bird deals! 
I'm pre-ordering it ASAP and showing off my stealth skills to all my friends 
. This is going to be so lit this December! 
This is gonna be another hype train that'll run outta steam after a few weeks. The VR thingy is just gonna make people get motion sickness and all they'll wanna do is throw their headset into the trash. And what's up with this $30 price tag? It's like they think we're made of money 
. I mean, it's Thief, not some fancy-schmancy new IP that needs a marketing campaign to survive...
! VR Stealth is finally getting a new chapter and it looks SO EPIC!!! 
! And $27 for Steam? 
deal of the year imo 
, fingers crossed we get some sweet new gameplay mechanics too 
. I mean, 15 years of waiting for VR to happen? That's like saying we're just going to sit back and let another decade go by before fixing public transportation infrastructure 
. What happened to giving players what they want on time?! It's all about priorities, folks. Are we prioritizing profit over player satisfaction? I think so 
. 30 bucks feels kinda steep but I guess it's worth it if they got it right this time? Vertigo Games better bring their A-game because the last one was a bit of a mess 
. I mean, who doesn't love sneaking around and stealing stuff in VR? It's basically just a fancy way to say "I'm bored at home". Still can't wait to see how they're going to make Magpie's movements feel smooth without making me wanna vomit 
it's been ages since we've had a proper stealth thriller and vr is the perfect way to bring back that feel of being all sneaky and stuff, but you know what's even more mind-blowing? how our perception of time and nostalgia can warp reality, i mean think about it, people have been waiting for this game for like, decades, and now it's finally here... but is it really the same as we remembered it from back in the day? or is it a whole new beast entirely? 
.
. And $27 for Steam? That's an awesome price point! Can't wait to get my hands on it and start sneaking around like Magpie 
i'm already saving up for the early bird deal on Steam 
i've been waiting for thieving as a gamer since like childhood and now we get to experience magpie's adventures in VR its gonna be so sick! the gameplay vids look insane and i love how they incorporated all the old elements like traps and distractions but also added new mechanics and features to keep it fresh. and $27 early bird deal is a no brainer for me 
... I'm buying 3 copies of this game ASAP 
I'm hyped for December 4th and can't wait to be Magpie, swiping valuables and sneaking past guards undetected. The fact that it's available on multiple platforms is a bonus too
