Thief, which was originally set to be known as Thief 4, is a reboot of the Thief franchise and is currently in development by Eidos Montreal and is due to be published by Square Enix sometime in 2014 on the PlayStation 4, Microsoft Windows, and Xbox One.
The series' main character, Garrett, has returned to his home to find that it has fallen under the rule of an iron-fisted baron who preaches prosperity for all but in reality power and wealth seem to be gravitating to an elite few. This, however, leaves Garrett with a great opportunity to ply his trade as a thief. The game will bring back much of the original Thief formula but with a few more modern improvements thrown in.

Story
The Thief universe is set in a Victorian-inspired steampunk world. The specific setting of the Thief reboot is Garrett's home ctiy, simply called 'The City', which he returns to find is ruled over by a tyranous character called 'The Baron'.
Gameplay
Thief was one of the defining games of the modern stealth genre and, as such, will have several mechanics making a return. Despite its status, it will have been a decade between Thief releases and so several mechanics have been borrowed from more contemporary stealth games such as the recent Hitman: Absolution, whilst a number of other elemtns have been scaled back.

2009 - Thief was originally announced in 2009, under the name Thief 4 (or Thi4f), and was confirmed to be in development by a small team at Eidos Montreal, under the management of the studio's General Manager, Stephane D'Astous.
