Don't hold your breath for details on Thief 4 because work on has resulted in the former being put on the back burner.

Square Enix's Montreal studio tells Connected Consoles that work on Deus Ex: Human Revolution is their primary focus, relegating stealth-action sequel Thief 4 to the shadows.

"Our studio is completely dedicated to at the moment." While the studio doesn't claim any or trouble with the game's development, Thief 4 won't be shown for some time.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution will be available for PS3, 360, and presumably in 2011. A release date for Thief 4 has not been announced.
