''Thief II: The Metal Age'' is the second game in the ''VideoGame/{{Thief}}'' series, and the final game created by Creator/LookingGlassStudios before it became bankrupt. Four years later, [[VideoGame/ThiefDeadlyShadows another sequel]] emerged, developed by Ion Storm.
Following the events of ''[[VideoGame/ThiefTheDarkProject The Dark Project]]'', Garrett returned back to his old profession as he observed more technological advances in the hands of the Mechanists, an offshoot to the Order of the Hammer. When overhearing its leader making deals with a corrupt sheriff, Garrett sought to investigate the intentions of the new sect.
Since Looking Glass folded very shortly after release, ''Thief II Gold'', which similarly to ''Thief Gold'' will add levels and bugfixes, never saw release, but there have been attempts by fans to do a remake based on existing documentation.
