Thief: The Dark Project Remastered is an upcoming stealth action game developed by Nightdive Studios and Eidos-Montréal and published by Atari. It is a remaster of the 1998 video game Thief: The Dark Project, originally developed by Looking Glass Studios and published by Eidos Interactive. The remaster includes content from the original game and the 1999 expanded release Thief Gold.

The game was announced during the PC Gaming Show in June 2026. It is scheduled for release in winter 2026 for Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2.

Gameplay

Thief: The Dark Project Remastered retains the first-person stealth gameplay of Thief: The Dark Project. The player controls Garrett, a master thief in a dark fantasy city, and is encouraged to avoid direct combat by using shadows, sound, movement, and equipment to bypass or distract enemies. Garrett's equipment includes a blackjack, sword, lockpicks, mines, flashbombs, noisemaker arrows, moss arrows, fire arrows, and rope arrows.

The remaster includes the missions and updates from Thief Gold, the expanded version of the original game released in 1999. The game uses systems involving non-player characters, artificial intelligence, light, and sound to allow enemies to detect the player, investigate disturbances, and raise alarms. Each mission has three difficulty settings with different objectives.

The remaster also includes a mission selector, a weapon and item wheel, modern gamepad support, and support for custom campaigns on the PC version.

Development and release

Thief: The Dark Project Remastered was announced by Atari, Nightdive Studios, and Eidos-Montréal during the PC Gaming Show in June 2026. Nightdive developed the remaster using its KEX Engine, which the studio has used for other remasters of older video games.

The remaster features updated textures, models, animations, cutscenes, and user interface elements. It is planned to support up to 4K resolution and 120 frames per second, along with gamepad features such as rumble, motion control, and gyro support. PC Gamer wrote that the reveal trailer appeared to preserve the visual identity of the original game while adapting it for modern displays. GamesRadar+ similarly noted that the trailer showed smoother visuals while retaining the original game's retro style.

The game is scheduled for release in winter 2026 for Windows through Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG.com, as well as PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2.
