The acclaimed musician Celldweller, whose music has been featured in numerous major films, TV shows, video games, and trailers, including Blade Runner 2049, Westworld, Deadpool 2, Call of Duty: Elite, Assassin’s Creed, and more – is recording the official soundtrack for the highly anticipated Thief: Pulse of Promise graphic novel, coming soon from Bit Bot. The Thief: Pulse of Promise Official Soundtrack will feature 12+ original songs inspired by the games’ iconic soundtracks and featuring all-new performances from legendary Garrett voice actor Stephen Russell. Ahead of the Backerkit campaign for the graphic novel, FiXT is revealing the first track from the soundtrack, “Never a Thief” and an accompanying lyric video. Fans can purchase and stream “Never a Thief” now.
“I was thrilled to get the opportunity to work in the world of Thief,” said Celldweller. “It’s pretty much the quintessential stealth game franchise, and anyone who plays these kinds of games knows how important audio is to the experience. When you’re Garrett, hiding in the shadows, listening for footsteps and trying to avoid a patrol, sound and music are a huge part of what creates that tension. I had a lot of fun digging into the sonic DNA of the original games and figuring out how to pay tribute to what made them sound so unique, while bringing some of those ideas into 2026 with a modern Celldweller spin. The goal was to make something that felt like it belonged in the world of Thief, but still had my fingerprints all over it.”
The officially licensed Thief: Pulse of Promise will bridge the gap between the trailblazing games Thief: The Dark Project and Thief II: The Metal Age. Written by Joshua Viola (Legacy of Kain, The Rocky Horror Show) and Sean Eads (Terror in the Corn, Lord Byron’s Prophecy), with interior art by Emanuele Ercolani (Masters of the Universe, ThunderCats) and Gianluca Papi (Mirka Andolfo’s Mercy, Unnatural) and letters by Jeremiah Lambert (Transformers), 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 Metal Age.
Originally released in 1998 by Looking Glass Studios, Thief: The Dark Project helped define the stealth genre through its groundbreaking blend of first-person infiltration, emergent gameplay, and immersive worldbuilding. The recently announced Thief: The Dark Project Remastered from Nightdive Studios, Eidos-Montréal and Atari marks a modern revival of the classic title, scheduled for release this Winter on consoles and PC.
Limited collectible vinyl and CD with art by Emanuele Ercolani of the Thief: Pulse of Promise Official Soundtrack will be available as part of the campaign, with the album releasing digitally at a later date. Fans can sign up on the BackerKit pre-launch page to receive an email when the Thief: Pulse of Promise campaign launches.
