Thief: The Dark Project Remastered launches on December 3, 2026 on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG), PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2 and Switch. Beyond the 1998 game and the Thief Gold missions, it adds The Tarnished Mirror, a new four-mission campaign set after the first game and made by the creators of the fan expansion The Black Parade. Now the real question for veterans and newcomers alike: where do you start?

- Order: do you replay the 12 original missions and the Thief Gold additions before The Tarnished Mirror, or go straight to the new campaign?
- First time: never played Thief? Is a "first-person sneaker" from 1998 with light and sound as core mechanics still appealing to you in 2026, even with 4K/120 FPS and a weapon wheel?
- Difficulty: each mission keeps 3 difficulty settings with different objectives. Do you play on the hardest one from the start?
- Mods: the remaster supports custom campaigns and player-made mods, including The Black Parade. Will you dive into fan missions after the main game?
- Edition: Standard digital at $29.99 (€29.99 on Steam France on November 9), Deluxe digital at $34.99, or the $69.99 Deluxe Trapezoid physical box that recreates the 1998 big-box? Does a physical box still matter to you?
- Platform: PC with mouse and keyboard, or console/Switch with gyro aiming for the bow?
Tell us your plan for December 3: which mission first, which platform and which edition.
