You look like the kind of person who could get into some top-down thieving. That’s a good thing, because developer Pocketwatch Games is preparing to finally debut its stealth-action heist game, Monaco.
Pocketwatch revealed today that Monaco will finally hit Steam and Xbox Live Arcade on April 24 for $15. It’s also available to preorder directly through Pocketwatch Games’ website.
Monaco puts players in control of a variety of specialized thieves either in a four-player co-op mode or single-player campaign. Each character can only see objects within their line-of-sight. Walls and other obstacles will cause huge portions of the screen to gray out.
In 2010, Monaco won the Seumas McNally Grand Prize at the Game Developers Conference Independent Games Festival.
Since then, lead designer Andy Schatz has worked to beef up and polish the game for its release, which is finally upon us.
Pocketwatch is also working on a Mac version.
