Thief has now officially gone gold and is on track for its release later this month, and to celebrate a new “101″ trailer telling you everything you need to know about the game has been released.

“Fans of the original Thief will be relieved to find the ingredients that made it one of the most respected franchises in the industry. The game doesn’t take gamers for idiots, it’s far from easy, and you can complete it without killing a single enemy or even being seen,” Stephane Roy, producer at Eidos Montreal wrote on the PlayStation Blog.

“But it is not only designed with long-time fans of the series in mind. A new generation of gamers will also have a chance to discover why Thief, one of the founding fathers of the stealth genre is so well-loved, to explore the rich lore of The City and to experiment with a different style of gameplay that emphasizes thoughtfulness and patience as well as skills and reflexes.

“The development team has given their best to ensure this Thief is worthy of its legendary predecessors. We’re huge fans of the original games in the series and the new game is a genuine reflection of the passion and talent of a truly dedicated team,” he added.

Thief is set to release February 25 in North America and February 28 in Europe for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC.
