Based on previous games in the series, we figured the upcoming Thief reboot would have its share of crimson fluids. Pilfuring is no doubt a dangerous affair, and if you want to make it home with your loot, a little blood letting is needed. The game's rating is out from the ESRB, and as expected, the pilfuring protagonist Garrett isn't exactly a pacifist and his hometown is far from Eden:
"This is a first-person shooter in which players assume the role of a thief attempting to defeat a conspiracy. Players sneak around guards and civilians in order to break into various buildings and steal items. Players sometimes use a blackjack to knock guards out. Throughout the game, characters use knives and swords to kill other human enemies. Blood splatter effects occur during battle. Corpses are frequently depicted, sometimes lying in pools of blood."
It doesn't end there though, it seems things are getting a little more sultry for Eidos Montreal's stealth affair. To help unwind from a job that's rife with tension, the citizenry can enjoy the company of a lady of the evening, or even mellow out by sucking on the dream stick. No, those activities are not related. The rating summary continues with:
"During the course of the game, players can roam through a brothel environment in which several prostitutes are depicted topless. The central character has the ability to spy on couples engaging in sexual activity (topless characters); suggestive moaning and dialogue can also be heard. Some settings depict opium vats or characters under the influence of the drug. The words 'f**k' and 'sh*t' can be heard in the dialogue."
Guess Garrett isn't the only one eye that's being entertained...
Thief releases on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC on February 25.
