Wipe the tears of glee and cork the anticipation. It looks like we popping skulls with blackjacks in Thief 4 for a while. An Eidos-Montreal developer recently told IncGamers (via Joystiq) that the game is currently in pre-production -- a step shy of full-blown production (or development, if you will.)
The dev, Stephane D’Astous, went on to mention that Eidos-Montreal is currently hiring. The studio is looking for 40 capable hands (which shouldn’t be that hard in this economy) to take the game into production.
If you’re wondering how long this could take, consider this: D’Astous wouldn’t comment on the platforms. Instead he said, “With the fast evolving world of hardware, there's a lot of things that will be happening in the following years so we need to be close to that - but either way, there's a lot of work to be done.”
Like we said, cork the anticipation for now. Put it away in a special place that you can retrieve in 2012 ... if the world doesn’t explode.

Thief 2 was definitely the best. That game was so fucking good!
Anyone who has T2 and wants to extend their gameplay should download Thief2X: Shadows of the Metal Age at http://www.thief2x.com/default2.asp. It's completely fan-made, but it's exceptionally well-done!
Thief: DS took too many things in the wrong direction (levels becoming more linear, smaller, AI gimped, things you don't expect in a sequel). But since I'm sure that's the one that sold the most (it was released on both PC and Xbox), that's the one they'll be looking to build on (or remove even more from).
