Thief Story Trailer Explores The Game’s Magical Side

Thief is being revived after years away but so far the series reboot has been looking little more than a good stealth affair. Nothing has been shown yet to really pique your interest. Regardless, I’m eager to play it and the latest trailer, which was shown off at the VGX Awards on Saturday, made me even more keen to get my hands on the game although I have absolutely no idea why.

Instead of dissecting my peculiar psyche, let’s dissect the trailer. The story trailer shows off some of the premise for the narrative at work and there seems to be a magical cult involved. Of course, there’s a girl at the centre of it all.

It was also announced that the game will get a companion app which serves no other purpose than to allow users to check leaderboards, stats, character bios and other time-wasting exercises. A premium version of the app will also be made available, but if you pre-order the game from GameStop you will get it free. The game’s soundtrack and an exclusive bank heist mission will also be handed to early buyers.
