Thief preorders unlock Bank Heist mission

Gamers who preorder 2014's Thief reboot will receive an "exclusive" Bank Heist mission, publisher Square Enix announced today.

The Bank Heist mission will task players with infiltrating the Stonemarket First Bank as they attempt to steal a family heirloom called the Star of Auldale.

"To this day, this heavily guarded and treacherous place remains impregnable, but that's about to change…," reads the mission's description.

The Bank Heist mission will reportedly put players' thieving skills "to the test," as they will need to outsmart security measures only found in the mission. Square Enix described the mission as a "true homage" to the Bank mission in Thief II: The Metal Age.

Thief will be released on February 25, 2014 for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC. A Wii U version is not in development.
