In a move that’s sure to grab the community's attention, the studio also revealed a surprisingly low entry point. The game will retail for $4.99 / €4.99 / £4.99 at launch. For a simulation-heavy shooter with deep crew management and specialized skills, this budget-friendly price suggests OtherSide is aiming for a massive player base right out of the gate.
Alongside the date and price, we’ve been treated to a new developer walkthrough titled "Welcome to Kilcairn." Narrated by Game Director Jeff Hickman, the footage provides a closer look at the gritty atmosphere of Kilcairn—the game's primary setting. It highlights how players will navigate the stark societal disparity between the wealthy elite and the desperate thieves trying to reclaim a piece of the pie.
This walkthrough emphasizes the tactical depth we can expect. Success in Thick as Thieves isn't just about fast reflexes; it's about the prep work. You'll need to carefully assemble a crew whose skills complement your specific plan, whether you’re opting for a silent infiltration or a high-intensity breach. The simulation elements mean that every variable in the environment can impact your escape route.
OtherSide has also teased that a second pre-launch video is coming soon, likely diving deeper into the specific shooter mechanics and weapon customization. With the May 20 release date fast approaching, the gear-up phase for this heist is officially in its final stages.
