Thick as Thieves marks a shift for OtherSide Entertainment, known for its single-player immersive sims. This multiplayer approach aims to combine the studio’s signature storytelling with the unpredictability of playing alongside others.
In a statement, Warren Spector said,
“This game captures the vision of immersive gameplay that OtherSide was founded on. It’s about empowering players to create their own stories in a world that values observation, craftiness, and problem-solving.”
Release and expectations
Set to launch in 2026, Thick as Thieves could play a key role in OtherSide Entertainment’s future.
