Square Enix and Eidos-Montr\u00e9al have released the first trailer in a new series of stylized videos that will focus on the revitalised Thief game, its characters, and The City (a character in its own right).<\/p>\n
Each trailer in the series tells the story of The City from the perspective of a different character in Thief’s narrative, describing what life is like in the broken, repressed City that is being ravaged by the evil Baron Northcrest and the mysterious sickness known as “The Gloom”.<\/p>\n
The first trailer introduces Basso, a former boxman (safe-cracker) turned fence, who uses his vast connections to The City\u2019s underworld to organize thieving jobs for Garrett.<\/p>\n
He owns an intelligent, but bad tempered magpie called Jenivere who delivers messages for him. Garrett might consider himself a loner, but Basso is the nearest thing he has to a friend – and whether he readily admits it or not; he rather likes the fellow.<\/p>\n
