We have been saying for some time that we continue to hear whispers from our sources that another chapter in the Thief saga was in development. It appears that our sources are correct and we expect Eidos Montreal to announce that Thief 4 is officially in development.

While Eidos announced last year that that they were in the process of developing another game from “AAA” franchise it was likely that the title in development was a new Thief title. Thief has been an all time favorite for its innovative game play, and many have wanted to see the title on the next generation consoles for some time.

According to what we have been able to uncover, we should expect an official word on May 11th.  The development is being handled by Eidos Montreal, and while no official release date has been suggested, according to what we hear it could be on track for release late this year; but we think it is more likely that we will see it drop next year.
