As many of you know, OtherSide Entertainment has lost most of its beloved members and only a very small team remains. This means there will be no further co…

Hey Thieves! We saw your reports about the keybinds feature having a few key holes (haha, get it?) in it when we patched it in yesterday. We’re releasing a small patch to address those including the changes below: Changelist · Fixed ladder climbing to use rebound key inputs · Fixed an issue that prevented the lockpick minigame from using the rebound interact key · Added glyphs for more mouse ke…

Esteemed Colleagues, It has been a little over a week since the launch of Thick as Thieves. We have watched you pillage and plunder across Kilcairn with literally billions of pounds in ill gotten gains retrieved so far. The streams of coop play are hilarious and fun, and your exploits overall continue to confound the Constabulary. Well done! Remember that more loot and experience are available…
Greetings Thieves! Our captains at the guild report that you are making remarkable progress and the fences are “processing” the spoils of your adventures. Reports are also coming in that a surprising number of thieves are still playing on Novice rather than venturing into Thief difficulty. Only the bravest few have even tried Master Thief. For those of you who haven’t ventured into the depths,…
Hey Thieves! We need a little maintenance window about three hour from now, at 0900 PT / 1700 BST. This will require about 45 minutes of downtime on the multiplayer servers. Anyone already in a match or playing solo should be unaffected. Thanks for your patience! ~ The Thick As Thieves Team
Hey Thieves, We recently shared our plans for settings updates and the patch notes for the first update which is already live. Key rebinding is still a top priority for both ease of use and making the game accessible to players using non-QWERTY keyboard layouts. We understand that playing with keys in the wrong places is pretty much impossible, so we are making it our next focus. The work neede…
