THIEF: Pulse of Promise


Writer: Joshua Viola & Sean Eads


Artist: Emanuele Ercolani


Colorist: Gianluca Papi


Letterer: Jeremiah Lambert


Thief: Pulse of Promise follows master thief Garrett as a seemingly straightforward heist draws him into forgotten Keeper secrets, strange powers hidden beneath the City, and a mysterious young boy whose fate may shape the future. Featuring appearances by fan-favorites such as Artemus and Father Karras, this all-new adventure bridges a pivotal chapter in Garrett's life leading to the Age of Metal.






"Thief remains one of the most influential and beloved stealth game franchises ever created," said Joshua Viola, co-writer and co-owner of Bit Bot. "Every aspect of Pulse of Promise was developed in close collaboration with Eidos-Montréal to help ensure the story, characters, factions, and world align with what longtime fans would expect from this era of Garrett's life. We wanted this to feel like a genuine standalone chapter between The Dark Project and The Metal Age."
