Vertigo Games and Maze Theory Studio, in collaboration with Eidos-Montreal, introduced Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow during the State of Play ceremony for virtual reality headsets.
In this game you play the role of Magpie; The shrewd theft, whose orphanage is the result of the cruelty of Baron Ulyss Northcrest and has shaped him in the streets. North Kerr is a dictatorship that suppresses any rebellion before forming. Megpai sees the only way of survival in theft until he achieves something bigger that is a legendary object with a legacy of the past.
The classic hideout gameplay of this series is combined with virtual reality immersion, and you have to pass by the guards, pocket, open hideouts and locks. A variety of beams and tools will be available to distract or destroy enemies. There are many paths in each theft and you can fully act or kill the enemies through the shadows.

It is worth noting that Vertigo Games is the maker of games like Metro Awakening and Arizona Sunshine. Richard Stitslaar, CEO of Vartego Games, said in a press statement: “
We decided to create a virtual reality experience in which players not only play the role of a thief, but to become a thief. Working with Idus Montreal and the theory table in this symbolic series is a great honor. We have revived this work in a way that has never been before, and this is the kind of narrative and immersive interaction that will shape the future of the media.
Steven Galgher, director of Idos Montreal’s creativity, added:
The Thief series has always been around the dominance of darkness and the use of tools and intelligence to cross a dark and dangerous world. Whether crawling in the shadows or acting in a more direct way with the beam and stick, this world is full of mystery. It is very exciting to see the recreation of this world in virtual reality. This experience gives a new depth to the Thief Series atmosphere, and we are eager to experience both old fans and new players in the form of virtual reality.
Finally, Phil White, the CEO of the theory table, also said:
Keeping this project hidden was really hard and we were literally in the shadows! We were working in full secret, but now it’s time to enter the light and officially introduce Thief vr: Legacy of Shadow. Our team has worked around the clock to stay loyal to the main spirit of the collection and provide a level of immersion that you have never seen before. This is the feeling you experience when you are really a thief.
Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow will be released in 2025 for PlayStation VR 2, Stimmire platform and Quet 1 and 2 headsets. You can see the trailer and published images below.
