Nightdive and EIDOS Montreal Are Working on Thief: The Dark Project Remastered

Atari has just announced a remaster for the first Thief game, Thief: The Dark Project. Thief: The Dark Project Remastered is coming to PC this Winter, and it will be developed by Nightdive and EIDOS Montreal.

Powered by Nightdive’s KEX Engine, this remaster includes both Thief: The Dark Project and all of the extra content from Thief Gold. Players will explore large levels and complete missions in different ways. Enemies will be able to hear sounds, talk to each other, and raise alarms if they spot you. Each mission will have three difficulty levels. Every difficulty will come with different goals, giving players new reasons to replay the game.

Thief: The Dark Project Remastered comes with improved textures, character models, and animations. It also adds several quality-of-life features to make the game easier to play. Players can use a new weapon and item wheel, choose missions from a mission selector, and play custom campaigns right from the game. The remaster also supports 4K resolution and up to 120 FPS. Gamepad support has been improved as well. The game will have controller rumble and motion or gyro controls. Furthermore, there will be built-in support for custom campaigns, giving players access to thousands of hours of extra content.

Nightdive has also shared the official PC system requirements. PC gamers will at least need an Intel or AMD Dual-Core at 2.0 GHz with 2GB of RAM and a GPU with DirectX 11 or Vulkan 1.1 support. The devs recommend using an Intel Core i5-2300 2.8 GHz or AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0 GHz with 4GB of RAM and a GPU with DirectX 11 or Vulkan 1.1 support.

Enjoy the trailer and stay tuned for more!
