Eidos Montreal Ramping up Thief 4 Development as Deus Ex Winds Down

Talking to Deus Ex: Human Revolution Art Director, Jonathan-Jacques Belletête, X360A has learned that as Eidos Montreal's current project begins to wind down in the run up to its August release, it'll be Thief 4's turn to hog the spotlight and take centre stage at the studio, as the developer prepares to focus on its other IP.

“It's really Thief's turn now and they're going to be under the spotlight, you know?,” Belletête told X360A. “We're pretty much done, we're ramped down, so now they're ramping up with more people. It's a great team; the Art Director is a good friend of mine, so the game is in really good hands, and that's all I can tell you. It's their turn, man! They're on the main floor taking up all of the space and we've got less now!”

If you thought it had all gone too quiet on the Thief 4 front then, you need not worry. Expect to hear a lot more about the game in the near future.

Deus Ex in the meantime got its preview on today as we explored the depths of the FEMA facility, so don’t forget to check that out. Look out for our full chat with Belletête next week.

I love that they are bringin all awesome games from PC back. Here's to hoping they are optimized for PC and not dumbed down like many games lately (Crysis2/Homefron, etc...)

@#4 dude I am totally with you on a new LoK series, especially after they put Raziel and Kain in Lara Croft: GoL. I think that was a big tease IMO, but I hope something comes of it.

OT: I can't wait to see how Thief 4 turns out.

YES!!! Both Thief and Deus Ex are great series....hopefully Thief will be able to provide good competition for Assassin's Creed, which for me is heading the same way as COD....getting way too stale, just give the series a break. Please.

Oh ya, this is totally exciting. The thief games are some of my favorites and top of the stealth genre.

It's about damn time. Maybe I won't run and scream like a little girl when Shalebridge Cradle comes back.

I LOVE THE THIEF SERIES! I've played all the games (on the PC & XBOX), through all difficulties! I just wish they would port each of the Thief games to the XBOX 360 - upgraded to HD - either as a multi-disc box-set, or release it as a "Games On Demand" title (like they are doing with "Resident Evil - Code: Veronica")!

ALL (previous) Thief games programmed FOR the 360 would be loved by many, if not just for the HD render and better play... but achievements, too!!! ;-)
