After teasing fans in a recent issue of Edge Magazine, Eidos Montreal formally announced the development of Thief 4 this morning. According to Stephane D’Astous, General Manager of Eidos Montreal, the project is still in the early stages of development. The studio is currently in the process of hiring new talent to ensure that this new installment lives up to the pedigree of the Thief franchise.
“We’re in the early development stages for Thief 4, but this is an incredibly ambitious project and a very exciting one. 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.”
If you’re an expert at rendering long, flowing capes, or writing the dialogue of startled sentries, Eidos Montreal may have a place for you.
