It will obviously have co-op and multiplayer.
- Q: Will there be a multiplayer mode?
- A: Yes. We're developing a "theftmatch" mode, where small teams of thieves compete under time pressure to steal the greatest value of swag from the territory of wealthy NPC's and their guards. Other models of multiplayer play are being considered.
Yeah, Thievery.^Wasn't there a relatively popular mod for Unreal Tournament that was basically that?

Thief 1 was supposed to, believe it or not.

movie directed by good old Uwie Boll.
Bullying nerds is always fun, so i hope Squaresoft suceeds in their endeavours and make Thief 5 be the Fallout 3 of Thief series(sales and critics wise), and movie directed by good old Uwie Boll.

Not to belittle anyone, but Thief's production was one of the most troubled ones out there when it cames to overall vision, direction and general "What is this game about then?"
Which makes the end product all the more relevant and awesome.
That game was a failure, where is Thief 4 in the top 100 games of all time lists?Bullying nerds is always fun, so i hope Squaresoft suceeds in their endeavours and make Thief 5 be the Fallout 3 of Thief series(sales and critics wise), and movie directed by good old Uwie Boll.
But Thiaf was the fallout 3 of thief series.
It's about a taffer that goes on a murdering rampage thanks to an argument with his Jacobin friend (he kills him in the end)movie directed by good old Uwie Boll.

Yeah, Thievery.
Had it on CD with mods when I still got no decent (i.e. none at all) internet connection and thus - got no chance to test it.
I think that was the mod that coined the term "Shadow slasher" used for when players would run around and slash at empty shadows to see if any thief was hiding there.

EDIT: Typo.
Assuming that this game and related movie are ever even entering the production phase... Unless I am misreading it and he is actually serious, that tweet suggests that EM isn't developing it.Best case scenario is that this flops and they sell the rights to the franchise.
Thief studio boss mocks report of series revival
As movie company deletes surprise claim of impending sequel.
Last week, a movie production company sparked speculation across the internet that a new Thief game was in development.
Sadly, this did not make any sense.
Five days ago, California-based Straight Up Films - the studio signed up to develop a Thief movie adaptation - stated "a fifth [Thief game] sequel is currently in development" to be released alongside its film.
But while a new Thief game would certainly be welcome... it would be very unlikely.
Let's start with the fact that Thief developer Eidos Montreal has shelved its more popular Deus Ex series - as reported by Eurogamer back in January.
Then there's the fact Eidos Montreal is currently booked up with other projects for the foreseeable future, including the currently-unannounced next Tomb Raider game (the existence of which leaked online last year when someone left a "Shadows of the Tomb Raider" PowerPoint presentation open on the Montreal subway).
We even know of Eidos Montreal's next project after that - the second Marvel game due in publisher Square Enix's big Marvel deal, due to follow Crystal Dynamics' Avengers game. Eurogamer sources point to this project being based around Guardians of the Galaxy.
So it's perhaps unsurprising to see Eidos Montreal's boss, David Anfossi, now mocking the report of it making a new Thief game on Twitter: https://twitter.com/DavidAnfossi/status/864102129040072706
But how about a Thief game from another studio? Even with Eidos Montreal (and Crystal Dynamics, for that matter) busy on other projects, the sad fact of the matter is that any new Thief project would still be a long shot.
The last Thief game had an uneven development, released to mixed reviews and is a lesser-known IP than Hitman, the more successful Square Enix series which has just been unceremoniously dumped.
Square Enix declined to comment for this article, although Straight Up Films' website has now deleted all mention of any upcoming Thief game.
The film company does, however, still list the dormant game series as "an action epic poised to be the next great multi-platform franchise".
