A PC Gamer writer is most excited for Thief: The Dark Project Remastered
The article expresses strong anticipation for Nightdive's remaster of Thief: The Dark Project. The writer says it outranks any other upcoming release this year. It is framed as a personal hype piece about the remaster.
Jody Macgregor is PC Gamer's Weekend/AU Editor. His background includes early computing on a Commodore 64, music journalism, and co-hosting an Australian videogame radio show. He has written for several outlets and previously edited PC Gamer Indie.
The piece is a personal feature, not a review, and it centers on Nightdive's upcoming remaster of the original Thief. It presents that release as his top pick among the year's remaining games. PC Gamer has also published related coverage of a GOG preservation mini-remaster and an unofficial engine patch.
Nightdive's remaster could renew interest in older stealth and immersive-sim titles, especially among players who missed the original. Preservation-minded releases and community patches may shape how newcomers experience classic PC games. The attention may also affect remaster-focused studios and digital storefronts, as fans compare official and fan-made efforts. However, impact likely remains within gaming culture rather than broader society.
