Dishonored encourages you to be stealthy. And i think the Thief series is all stealth, although i never got around to playing them. but yeah neither of those series have released a game in a long time.
True on both counts, I guess I should have qualified with ‘In the past 5 years’ or something.
I think Dishonored 2 came out in 2017? I did quite like those games.
And yeah, the Thief series arguably invented the stealth action genre in 3d, though I am fairly sure that MGS was basically the direct inspiration for Splinter Cell, can’t say I’ve heard any of those devs ever mention the Thief series.
Only other things I can think of are other immersive sims (which I /know/ the creators of the dishonored series would either say their game is or contains elements of), the better of which have pretty good sneaking missions and are highly similar to stealth action games in many ways, you could even say that stealth action games are basically streamlined immersive sims… not many of those get made or become popular though, SS2 remake being the only recent exception I can think of.
Finally, there is Alien Isolation, which … is sort of a stealth action game, but also a horror game. But again, that was quite a while ago.
