Thick As Thieves, the immersive sim heist game by Otherside Entertainment, has a launch date. A new trailer that premiered during today’s Triple-i Initiative revealed the game is coming on May 20.

Set in an alternative version of the 1910’s in the fictional Scottish city of Kilcairn, Thick As Thieves is a stealth adventure that can be played alone or in two-player co-op (the game recently ditched its PvPvE mode). Players control thieves who must uncover the secrets of the Constabulary and the mysteries surrounding the nobility by breaking into guarded areas and swiping their fortunes and learning their secrets. 

The dynamic world is designed to encourage creative problem-solving, similar to the design of series such as Thief and Dishonored. Players can also take on contracts and upgrade their gear as they complete what Otherside describes as “short, engaging missions that change with every playthrough.” Thick As Thieves is helmed by immersive sim veterans Warren Spector (Deus Ex, Thief), Paul Neurath (Thief and Thief II).

Thick As Thieves is coming to PC on May 20. The game was originally announced for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S as well, but there's no word on when to expect those versions.

Last year's Triple-i Initiative showcase included the announcement teaser for Neverway, a game that's part action, part life sim, and part moody, existential horror. This year, the game returned to the event, bringing two of the most exciting pieces of news a showcase trailer can bring: the game has a release window, and you can try it out for free on Steam today. You can watch the latest trailer below.

The game follows a young, profoundly depressed woman named Fiona who moves to a remote island to become a farmer and live the simple life. But try as she might to grow crops and romance her neighbors, she's also haunted by the past, and must use Zelda-like combat to fight off dark forces.

Neverway is being developed by ColdBlood Inc, a studio founded by two people: Isadora Sophia, formerly a senior engineer at Microsoft, and Pedro Medeiros, who's known for his work as an artist on Celeste and Towerfall. The game's soundtrack is done by Disasterpeace, best known for his work composing for games like Hyper Light Drifter and Fez and for films like It Follows and Bodies Bodies Bodies. Neverway is being published by Outersloth, the publishing arm of developer Innersloth, known for Among Us.

Today's playable prologue includes about an hour of content. The first portion shows the game's intro, which is more moody and story-driven, while the latter portion comes from an action-heavy sequence taking place sometime later. While the prologue is only available on Steam,  the game will also come to Nintendo Switch when it drops this October.
