Why Has Thief Taken So Long?

Do You Remember May 11th, 2009?

If you're a Thief fan you should. Eidos Montreal announced that it was working on a second AAA Eidos franchise (the other was Deus Ex 3) that started with the letter "T". Finally on May 11th, 2009 an announcement was made by the general manager of Eidos Montreal, Stephane D'Astous that EM was in fact working on Thi4f.

After that announcement Eidos Montreal became very quiet about Thief 4 and instead focused on publicizing information on Deus Ex: Human Revolution. In fact no real statement was issued on the game until recently. Watch the video to find out why the next installment has taken so long to surface.

Game Informer has been covering the recent unmasking of Thief in their latest issue as well as on their website.

Stay tuned as I cover Game Informer's web reveal and issue in the upcoming days.
