Nightblade was a total conversion project for Unreal Tournament 3, in development by Black Cat Games, the indie development team that had previously worked on the successful total conversion Thievery.
Nightblade was intended as a partial spiritual successor to Thievery, and like Thievery, was a multiplayer-focused mod inspired by the Thief series.
The total conversion was under development by Black Cat Games during the late 2000s, with most of the news and materials concerning development being released mainly between 2007 and 2010. Since then, there hasn't been much news, and it's possible the project has been cancelled by Black Cat Games. It was put on a hiatus in May 2009 and there hasn't been much news since.
