Several screenshots of what appeared to be a new Thief  game leaked earlier today and everyone assumed Thief 4 will be announced soon.

Well it looks like that was partially correct, as Game Informer has just confirmed their 240th issue will feature a reveal of the next installment in the Thief series. It will be a reboot and will not have a 4 attached to it.

According to Game Informer, the game has been in development for many years at Eidos Montreal and is expected to be ready in 2014.

Obviously, the game will be launched on the PC and Playstation 4, but Square Enix also confirmed Thief will arrive on “other next-gen platforms” as well, which is clearly a hint about the next Xbox console Microsoft is expected to reveal later this month.
