Square Enix and Eidos-Montréal today released the second trailer in a series of stylized videos that focus on the rich narrative and characters of THIEF’s corrupt and broken city.
Each trailer in the series tells a story from the perspective of a different character describing life in the broken, repressed City that is being ravaged by the ruthless Baron Northcrest and the mysterious sickness known as ‘The Gloom’.
Nobody knows how old the Queen of the Beggars actually is; rumor has it she’s as old as The City itself. Some say that although she is blind – she sees through the eyes of the rats that riddle the city streets. Despite being on the lowest layer of society, the Queen of the Beggars operates the beggar’s court with more respect, diplomacy and wisdom, than many of the people with real positions of power in the City. She is a wise, some say all knowing character whose words, beliefs and judgements should be revered.
THIEF is due for release on February 25, 2014 in North America on Windows PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on 28th February 2014 in Europe and other PAL territories. Also if you missed the Exclusive THIEF interview and gameplay with Joe Khoury from Eidos Montreal you can watch it below.
