I embarked on a mission to answer the most important question in PC gaming: How tall is Garrett from Thief?

Garrett, the protagonist from the Thief series, is confirmed to be 6 feet tall in the original Thief game, according to Romain Barrilliot, a level designer at Arkane Studios. The 5'5" measurement refers to Garrett from Eidos Montreal's 2014 reboot. Barrilliot also noted that the Garrett model from Thief 2 appears to be approximately 6'5.3". The discrepancies in height perception arise from the game's design and character comparisons with other games.

Stormgate is leaving early access before it’s technically finished: ‘We believe that our campaign and 1v1 are ready for a broader audience’

Frost Giant Studios announced that its first single-player campaign for the RTS game Stormgate will launch in August, coinciding with the game's exit from Steam early access. The studio clarified that the previous version number "0.6" was misleading and will now be referred to as the Necrolyte release, with future updates adopting descriptive names instead of numerical versioning. The campaign, titled Ashes of Earth, will include 12 missions and a complete narrative arc, with plans for additional free missions in the future. The studio aims to engage a wider audience with both the campaign and the 1v1 multiplayer mode, emphasizing the need to attract new players for financial viability. Additionally, features like co-op missions and an in-game editor called Sigma Labs will be introduced for ongoing development.

Когда Mafia 4 появится на торрентах

On August 8, 2025, Mafia: The Old Country, a prequel in the mafia franchise developed by Hangar 13, will be released. The game is set in early 20th-century Sicily and follows Enzo Favara, a young Sicilian orphan and miner. It features a linear narrative focusing on deep storytelling and atmospheric immersion, departing from the open-world format of previous titles. Mafia: The Old Country will not be officially available for sale in Russia due to publisher Take-Two's policies, but players can use workarounds to acquire it. The game will include Denuvo anti-piracy protection, and it is unlikely to appear on torrent sites before summer 2026. Previous Mafia games were quickly pirated, but current Denuvo protections present a greater challenge, with cracking timelines for Denuvo-protected games averaging between two months to two years.
