About the Game
Play as one of four thieves attempting the biggest heist in history on the Cinque National Bank. Players must infiltrate the bank which is rigged with state-of-the-art defense systems designed to challenge even the most skilled operatives.
Security Drones patrol the bank searching for any intruders, while environmental hazards and sophisticated security measures add layers of complexity to your mission. The main objective is to infiltrate the bank, gather as much gold as possible, and escape before the lockdown is triggered.
In this competitive co-optional PvPvE experience, the thief who manages to escape with the most gold before lockdown wins the game. Will you cooperate with fellow thieves or compete against them for the ultimate prize?
