Eidos' 'Thief: Deadly Shadows' Steals May 25 Ship Date in North
America
The Masterful Thief 'Sneaker' 'Goes Gold' For Xbox(R) Video Game System and
PC
SAN FRANCISCO, May 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Eidos , one of the world's
leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today announced
that its highly-anticipated, action-stealth game Thief: Deadly Shadows,
developed by Ion Storm, has gone gold for the Xbox(R) video game system from
Microsoft and the PC. Thief: Deadly Shadows will be available at retail
beginning May 26, 2004 in North America.
"Thief: Deadly Shadows brings the Thief gameplay to a whole new console
audience without sacrificing the elements that made the originals such fan
favorites. The addition of a fully-supported third-person mode, to supplement
the traditional Thief first-person view, adds a whole new dimension to
gameplay," said Warren Spector, studio director at Ion Storm. "Add to a cunning
and robust AI system, a lighting and shadow system that dynamically effects
stealth gameplay, an audio system and sound implementation that constantly
amaze, as well as graphics that are, at times, astonishing. And there you have
Thief: Deadly Shadows. Plenty for me and the team -- and players -- to be
excited about!"
Thief: Deadly Shadows places you in the role of Master Thief Garrett, the
quintessential anti-hero that steals from the rich and keeps for himself. In
Thief: Deadly Shadows, Garrett finds himself assisting the Keepers, the secret
society that trained Garrett in his youth. He is tasked with preventing a
prophesised Dark Age from coming into fruition. Thief: Deadly Shadows was
developed by Ion Storm, creators of the critically-acclaimed Deus Ex series.
Thief: Deadly Shadows will continue the Ion Storm tradition of open-ended
emergent gameplay the studio is famous for. The freedom to choose a unique play
style is what sets Thief: Deadly Shadows apart from any other game further
immersing the player into the adventure. Thief: Deadly Shadows features a
powerful physics system, startlingly smart AI, enhanced character modelling and
animation, a groundbreaking sound propagation system and state- of-the art
lighting and graphics for which Ion Storm is famous for.
Thief: Deadly Shadows ships to retail in North America on May 25th, 2004.
