Thief gameplay trailer

What's the difference between a robber and burglar? A robber will use force or threaten violence in an attempt to take valued goods, while a burglar illegally enters property in the hope of committing an offence.

So for Thief's Garrett, the fate of his legal label rests in your hands.

This is the first peak at the new reboot of the classic sneak'em'up, revealing some of Garrett's more unsociable skills. Lock picking makes a welcome return, while new quick-stepping/foggy hand abilities appear to take the series in a different direction. The less said about the accents the better...
