- This unofficial engine patch for Thief: The Dark Project adds a huge new feature that won't be in Nightdive's upcoming remaster - 19 September 2026
Thief: The Dark Project is one of my favourite games of all time, so naturally I am very excited for Nightdive Studios' upcoming remaster . But it's worth remembering that the community has done an excellent job supporting the game up until this point. Unofficial patches like NewDark have ensured that Looking Glass' landmark stealth game can run in high resolutions and with support for widescreen and multi-monitor functionalities for years...

- Thief designer Randy Smith Evergreen refused to work for Xbox because it would be like 'walking past some stakes with human skulls on them' and pretending 'it's probably fine in this direction' - 14 September 2026
Randy Smith Evergreen had been pitching the idea to publishers for a while. A nonviolent RPG, in tune with the values of the Looking Glass games he worked on in the '90s, about a young American woman searching for her missing uncle in Eastern Europe. But the publishers weren't biting. Often, they'd tell Smith Evergreen how much they loved the Thief games he'd helped create, and he'd wonder whether he ought to just be pitching a spiritual sequel to that seminal stealth series instead. Then, Microsoft came calling... Read more.

- Nightdive's Thief remaster unearths a 'very very out of date version control repository' with 'the wildest things to say about the code' - 24 August 2026
It's great that the Nightdive's remasters of various classic games give new players a chance to experience them without having to download a fixpack or remap the controls or whatever, but it's also a wonderful opportunity to learn new things about games we already loved.

- That GOG gloss-up of Thief is an excellent way to play the game until we get the Nightdive remaster - 28 July 2026
Two weeks ago I came to you with news that Thief: The Dark Project (and its expanded version, Thief Gold) were getting a sort of pseudo-remaster courtesy of GOG, ahead of its official Nightdive remaster coming this winter.

- 15 years before Dishonored, Thief devs considered letting Garrett shrink himself rat-sized so he could scurry through drains and mouse holes - 20 July 2026
Of the many remarkable abilities possessed by Dishonored hero Corvo Attano, perhaps the most remarkable is, well, possession: Corvo can possess creatures, most famously the game's plentiful rats, to get up to all sorts of trouble, including accessing locations that would be inaccessible to his full-sized body. As it turns out, this wasn't an entirely original idea. More than a decade earlier it had been considered for use in Dishonored's masterpiece progenitor, Thief: The Dark Project ... Read more.

- Nightdive says compatibility with fan missions was a big priority for Thief Remastered, and there's one massive mod in particular it knew it had to get working - 28 June 2026
Thief: The Dark Project is a brilliant game for many reasons, among which is that it has one of the best mapping communities of any game. While the Doom and Quake mapping scenes are larger and more prolific, Thief's mappers consistently punch so far above their weight they should probably get into boxing sims rather than stealth games. They regularly deliver maps, missions and entire campaigns that are orders of magnitude more ambitious than what exists in the base game... Read more.

- Nightdive's Thief remaster is adding a weapon wheel and other UI changes, 'but we're not forcing you to use it' - 26 June 2026
Partway through Nightdive's video about remastering Thief: The Dark Project, producer Daniel Grayshon casually mentions that in the original you pressed 4 to bring up the water arrows and I realized I still remember a bunch of the keybinds for Thief's arsenal of items. The trusty blackjack was 2, rope arrows were 8, the get-out-of-jail-free flash bomb on F6, and so on... Read more.

Not only one of the most important stealth games from the genre's past but also among the best PC games of all time, '90s classic Thief: The Dark Project is one of those pieces of gaming history that you owe it to yourself to try.

- One of the greatest PC games of all time is literally 88 cents - 16 January 2024
What are the games that define PC history? Civilization, perhaps. Doom. Ultima. You could go back a little further and choose Rogue and The Oregon trail, or maybe jump to the boomer shooter heyday with the likes of Half-Life and Unreal. Either way, it's a competitive field - if we're talking about the games that made the PC what it is now, and shaped perhaps the entire culture, we're talking exclusively about the stonest and coldest of classics. Inspiring the likes of Dishonored, Prey, and in fact the whole immersive sim genre - and co-created by developers who would later help build the likes of BioShock and Half-Life 2 - Thief The Dark Project , re-released as Thief Gold, is now available for just 88 cents.
