Legacy of Shadow: Acclaimed Stealth Series Arrives on All Major VR Headsets This Year

Oh man, the news that totally caught my eye today—no idea why I can’t shake it—was the upcoming Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow. Imagine this: you’re sneaking around The City, dodging Baron Ulysses Northcrest’s goons, just like in the old days, but now you’re actually, literally in it. Like, whoa, VR has arrived, and it’s gonna be wild.

So, here’s the scoop. They showed it off during PlayStation’s State of Play (wasn’t even planning to watch, to be honest). But there it was! Suddenly, you’re this clever thief dude, or dudette, or whoever. You were orphaned by this tyrannical baron… who sounds like a real piece of work, by the way. And here’s the twist—you’re not just stealing for funsies or whatever. No, there’s some legendary artifact that’s supposed to flip everything upside down. Bet you didn’t see that coming, huh?

Now, lemme ramble a bit about who’s making this thing happen. Some folks named Maze Theory, and those Vertigo Games people are also in the mix. Oh, and we can’t forget the geniuses from Eidos-Montréal. They worked on the 2014 Thief, so you kinda hope it’s in good hands. There’s gonna be all this cool VR stuff to tinker with—like your bow, climbing things (hope you don’t get vertigo), and sneaky pickpocket tricks. It’s like they thought of everything.

And, okay, let’s just stop right here and appreciate the freedom thing for a sec. The game’s supposed to let you choose how you wanna play, which is sweet if you’re indecisive like me. Not just one way to do stuff—there’s paths all over. Love it.

But wait… when’s this thing coming out again? 2025? Man, that’s ages from now! But hey, you can at least wishlist it everywhere, which is good for those of us with memory issues—me included. Quest 2, PSVR 2, whoever you’ve got, just chuck it on there.

Alright, gotta run—like literally. But, yeah, keep your eyes peeled, this could be a total game-changer. Or not. We’ll see!
