Thief 4, or THI4F if you prefer, has today been officially announced by Montreal. Not that we haven't known about it for several months, anyway.

An official site for the new stealth-action title is now live, Eidos announcing the continuation of their series after several years in the wilderness.

"We're in the early stages for Thief 4, but this is an incredibly ambitious project and a very exciting one," beams general manager Stephane D'Astous.

"It's too early for us to offer any specific game details, right now we are focused on recruiting the very best talent to join the core team at the studio and help us make, what we believe will be one of the most exciting games on the market."

Details remain unspecific. The publisher's new Montreal studio are also forging ahead with the return of Deus Ex.
