Eidos Montreal Watching Thief 4 Thread With Interest

08 May 2009 at 14:33:23 by Tim McDonald

At least one employee of Eidos Montreal has been watching an online Thief 4 thread "with interest."

This lends yet more credence to the rumours that a fourth Thief game will be revealed on Monday.

The thread itself is on the Through the Looking Glass forums and contains a great deal of information about the Thief series and, more specifically, the direction fans would like a potential fourth game to take.

A developer watching a thread about a game isn't big news on its own, but when that developer has been widely rumoured to be working on a fourth title in a much beloved series and appears to be paying attention to the fans, it's definitely something to take notice of.

A source who wishes to remain anonymous confirmed to IncGamers that "at least one person from Eidos-Montreal is watching 'with interest.'"

We wish to add that with no official line until Monday, with a PR spokesman for Eidos refusing to comment on the rumours of a Thief sequel, this may be completely unrelated to the forthcoming project. 

We consider it a good sign, nonetheless. After all, this would be a very big coincidence if it's all unrelated.
