EXCLUSIVE: ‘Thief: Pulse Of Promise’ Preview

The world of Thief is expanding with Thief: Pulse of Promise, and we’ve got an exclusive look inside the new graphic novel, now on Backerkit.

“Thief remains one of the most influential and beloved stealth game franchises ever created,” said Joshua Viola, co-writer and co-owner of Bit Bot, via press release. “Every aspect of Pulse of Promise was developed in close collaboration with Eidos-Montréal to help ensure the story, characters, factions, and world align with what longtime fans would expect from this era of Garrett’s life. We wanted this to feel like a genuine standalone chapter between The Dark Project and The Metal Age.”

Added Frank O’Connor, Bit Bot Creative Director and former Franchise Creative Director for Halo and Perfect Dark, “Thief isn’t just a masterclass in stealth gameplay, it’s one of the most innovative and influential modern dark fantasy stories, period. It’s an honor to witness to the expansion of that storytelling and narrative evolution in graphic novel format, and I’m genuinely enthralled to see what the world thinks of Garrett’s next cynical outlook on what it means to thrive, survive and purloin interesting swag in Thief: Pulse of Promise.”
