You can take it to the bank -- Eidos is working on Thief 4. Earlier this morning, a tweet from the official Eidos-Montreal Twitter account confirmed the existence of the title and also pointed its readers to the game’s official Web site, which has nothing more than a logo and a link to a discussion forum.
Information is limited, however, there is one thing we do know: the game is officially named Thi4f. We are now at the point of no return with the l33t stuff, folks.
So, we have a new Thief sequel. What do you want from it? As long as I can still crack skulls with a tiny club, I’m good to go. Well, that and the dismissal of the name "Thi4f," but that's a discussion I'll leave to you guys.
[Thanks, jetsetlemming!]

I agree with Brad, as long as I can bash skulls with my blackjack I should be "ok". I want the return of water arrows, and a real detection/sound system, like Thief 2 did perfectly.
Also Magnalon this is Eidos, not EA.
I'm laughing already, picturing confused parents asking for "THI FOUR F" at GameStop.
Why did I look at Eidos-Montreal and think that EA had taken over my beloved series? Perhaps it's the lingering tired-ness, haha. Thanks for the callout! :-D
i thought this game was dead. what game will be next to come back from the dead? duke nukem forever?
I thought Thief 3: Deadly Shadows had the perfect full circle ending to the story of Garrett's character, but I guess not. I wonder where they'll take it next? They can't possibly make another game without him. That would be awful. I could see them pulling a 'switcheroo' ala Metal Gear Solid 2 though. That could work on some level, depending on the writing and whether or not they are able to hire Stephen Russell again for his voice talent.

But yeah I think the thief games were fun but stealth games in general need to change for this generation, Velvet Assassin proves that.
And if they put a level in as good as the Shalebridge Cradle then I'm sold. Whatever flaws Deadly Shadows had were overridden by that place.
No. No. Just no.

Wow. Thinking about Thief has made me remember the 'revolutionary Dark engine(tm)' which was basically shit loads of black used in the textures. Awesome.
I love playing against normal guards, even ones with hammers are fine.
Hasn't DRIV THREE R taught us anything?
I'm pretty sure Square Enix is required to add forty belts and twenty zippers to every character model now. You know what that means?
Unlimited inventory! :P
I want to play a new Thief but the title is pretty stupid.
