Square Enix announces Thief for next gen!

Thief everybody! I can't tell you how excited I am. Well, I can - both overwhelmingly excited and really really worriedly excited. I mean, this is the game that was at one point actually in all seriousness tentatively titled THI4F. Back when I was growing up however, Thief was one of the first games to ever speak to me, whispering 'Running about shooting people in the open is not very Batman my friend, it's not Batman at all.'


The April cover of Game Informer.

Thief is being built by Eidos Montreal - who did an excellent job with Deus Ex: Human Revolution and the game will be available on the PC, PlayStation 4 and the still unnamed next Microsoft console. Unlike Deadly Shadows, Thief will return to the first person view, and as Garrett you will traverse the game's levels however you please.

If it sounds a bit like Dishonored, that's because it is - until today I thought Dishonored was as close as we would get to another installment of Thief after THI4F was laughed out of the room. Game Informer has exclusive details on the new Thief, which is gracing their cover this month (hence the picture above.) Are you interested in another Thief? Do you think Eidos Montreal can pull it off? Let us know in the comments below!
