New Thief game on the way?

Eidos website seems to suggest so.

Rumours are swirling that a fourth instalment in the Thief series is in development.

It's all thanks to a new image appearing on the Eidos Montreal website. A big question mark appears next to the message, "Eidos-Montreal's second project to be revealed soon."

Nothing particularly Thiefy about that - until you realise, as some eagle-eyed forum posters did, that the font used looks familiar. Yes, it's the same one used in previous Thief games.

Just to add extra intrigue the text above the image reads, "The two games [Eidos Montreal has] in development will resurrect successful franchises like Deus Ex and our next project soon to be revealed..." Gosh.

Eidos has yet to confirm or deny whether all this hintiness does indeed point towards a new Thief title, but we'll keep you posted.
