It’s been known for really quite a long time now, but the official announcement of Thief 4, or Thi4f as Eidos would like us to refer to it, will still be enough to excite the masses.

The game is already well underway at Eidos Montreal – the same studio handling the also highly anticipated FPS sequel Deus Ex 3.

“Were in the early development stages for Thief 4, but this is an incredibly ambitious project and a very exciting one,” general manager Stephane D’Astous stated.

“It’s too early for us to offer any specific game details, right now we are focused on recruiting the very best talent to join the core team at the studio and help us make, what we believe will be one of the most exciting games on the market.”

There are no other details as of yet. The official website can be found here.
