Thief Remastered's new expansion is being made by the legendary Black Parade mod team, and it's out next month

Nightdive Studios has revealed a trailer for Thief: The Tarnished Mirror, an official expansion for the upcoming remaster of Thief. This expansion is being developed by the renowned team behind The Black Parade, a 2023 mod that significantly impacted the series. The Tarnished Mirror comprises four new missions and serves as a bridge between the previous games in the series, Thief: The Dark Project and Thief 2: The Metal Age.

Leveraging advancements in technology, the expansion will offer larger, more ambitious maps than those possible on 90s PCs. The verticality in the scenes showcased in the trailer is notably increased compared to the original 1997 game, with interiors created using familiar Thief assets that result in unexpected and surprising spaces.

The expansion will also continue the series' tradition of horror, as indicated by the press release. Fans of horror in Thief games will be pleased to know that the developers are embracing this aspect of the series, much like The Black Parade did. The news about the expansion is a welcome addition, particularly for those who were disappointed by the lack of a PC version of the remaster's big box special edition.

While the tchotchke fix may not be met here, the Thief Remaster appears to be a highly anticipated and special release for fans of the series.
