Because fans like you made the series dead.

The series died because the reboot failed to sell. Not the fans fault, also square would have never been pleased with sales.

Easy to point blame when you barely understand business.

No.
The series died because the studio and publisher had absolutely no clue as to what made the series great and ignored the Thief community who have loved and supported the series since The Dark Project and then people like you thanked and defended them for publishing it.

Since folks already posted about this comeback, here are the full details about Thief's return! https://blog.playstation.com/2025/06/04/thief-vr-legacy-of-shadow-announced-for-ps-vr2-out-2025/?ref=uploadvr.com and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTLKKU1df6I
Of course I won't play it either, because it is VR-only. At least it is, after 11 years, better than nothing. This said, there should be at least the Thief Trilogy Remastered* next!

*Thief Gold, Thief 2: The Metal Age, and Thief: Deadly Shadows

Think about this.

A game series that, while beloved, is a niche genre, remade a decade ago in a bad way now is going to come back in VR which means it will have an even smaller audience.

OP needs to understand that this game, and the ENTIRE series, wasn't just made for him.

So you can't claim you speak for everyone here.

Fans like you who are so closed mind and stuck with the originals.

The “fans” who didn’t show a once of support for the game.

I enjoy the series. I wish the trilogy will get remastered for all platforms but if this new game fails, good luck with that.

Thief isnt back - I am an OG player since end of 90s, loved all parts includ. Part 4. But VR is simply a NoGo, not only for the hardware that is necessary, but also for the fact that a lot of people simply cant enjoy games in VR due to physical reasons. It just makes no sense.

So yeah, there are good reasons to throw tantrums...

Saying this i would love to see all older parts remastered. I also dont care about with Garrett or not. Just give me a new good Thief without VR. Thats it. 100% buy.

Nobody wanted a VR game.

OP, let me make this very simple for you.

Remember when Sonic movie was in the making and how people complained about characters look?

The creators listened, changed the look to his traditional cartoon design and so the movie became sucessful and had decent follow ups.

Thief 2014 is the exact opposite and it is why it failed.

Now listen very carefully, OP. I want you to just say one thing:

Oops.

And you wonder why?
Nobody asked for a cheap VR version which looks the same as Thief 4 only with 2 floating hands, and on top, they get rid of the beloved main character just to genderbend this franchise too. If they invested resources to make a new Thief, at least they could have done it properly.

As someone that got into the series because of the reboot. Having played two of the previous games afterwards, I realized the reboot wasn't as good. On its own, it's a nice game, the girl we're supposed to save sucks and makes me not want to finish the game on pc. But still a nice game. Doesn't compare to the previous titles though.

Completely agree. I'm not too bothered by a lack of Garrett. But VR and PS5 are an instant no for me. I'm not buying another console, and I'm not buying a vr headset just to play one game.

If I want to be honest with you guys, the 2014 version of Thief didn't deserve this sequel. The first 3 games of Thief however would deserve one, but sure not in the same aspect as Thief 4 and this VR altered 5th game. The modernization limits the freedom of gameplay. Also not everyone in the world owns a VR headset. Most people just have their PC with their regular assets they could ever had with a specific PC specs which might be limited to a VR game. Most VR-based games failed to be a quality game for obvious reasons and studios these days have no idea about what the community would be happy with as a game to release. This upcoming Thief game won't be any different. Don't expect too much of it as it won't be decent the least levels and will totally be way worse than the 2014 release. After a decade, they were supposed to remaster the older titles unlike dishing out a trashcan variant of the last game.
