Thief Gameplay Walkthrough Showcases ‘Lockdown’ Mission

If you’ve any interest at all in Thief, then you’ve probably seen the vignettes and even the CGI trailer showcasing the game. Now, Square Enix and Eidos Montreal have released a lengthy, 17-minute long preview walkthrough of the game.

It’s a complete, uncut, playthrough of the game’s first mission, Lockdown.

There’s obviously going to be spoilers ahead if you’d like to go into the game without any knowledge, so I advise you only watch it if you’re okay with having the first mission spoiled in its entirety.

Here’s the setup:

After a heist gone wrong, Garrett is trying to make his way back to his hideout in the clocktower. Along the way, he happens upon a jewelry store. Garrett being who he is, you can imagine what happens next…

Eidos ran the demonstration on a PC with the following specs:

CPU: AMD FX 8350
RAM: 8GB
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 7970
Hard Drive: 125GB SSD
OS: Windows 7

The game comes out on February 25 for the PC and both current and past-gen console platforms.
