Eidos Working On Thief 4?
Rumors are flying across the net about Eidos Montréal's next projects. They state on their website they intend to ressurrect two successful franchises. A recent job posting states their next project title begins with the letter "T". This leaves most fans hoping for a Thief sequel.
The Thief games take place in an unnamed city in an unknown era. The city has several feuding factions, the twisted nature cult of the Pagans, the city-building Hammerite Order, and their offshoot, the Steampunkish Mechanists. Behind it all, the mysterious Keepers, who control the secrets of the Glyphs. You control Garrett, a former Keeper turned Thief, in his adventures to make a profit and save the city several times over, with only stealth and nimble fingers as your weapons. (Oh, well, and your trusty Blackjack and Dagger).
If you've never played the games, I highly recommend them, even the controversial third game, Thief: Deadly Shadows, if only for the amazing Shalebridge Cradle level, which may be the most psychologically terrifying thing I've ever played.

Other stuff like this: Deadly Shadows, Eidos, Thief
Doesn't that also mean it could start with the word "The"?
lol, amother Tomb Raider maybe :P
Well, the other little detail I've become aware of, one of the Eidos guys switched his Facebook icon to the Thief 'T' for a few days until the rumors started going around, then removed it.
Or MySpace. Whatever it is young people use nowadays.
Whipper-snappers.
