So, Thief 4 (we are not calling it Thi4f) has been announced! You happy? Canāt see why. Itās not like Eidos actually announced anything.

They couldnāt even offer target platforms, telling IGN:
As for platforms and consoles, things are moving so fast. Thereās some contradictory noise on when thereās going to be the next generation, so weāre going to be prudent on that one. So weāre going to wait a couple of months to announce more about that. Itās going to be cutting edge technology, thatās for sure. It would be imprudent for us to say which console because, first of all, we donāt know exactly the window of release and we donāt know the first-party strategy.
In other words, Thief 4 probably exists only as some doodles on a napkin, and is so early in its production schedule it wonāt be shown in any form at E3 this year.
Eidos: this is not how you announce a product.
