    A screen-shot of Thief 4 has leaked to the web, fuelling speculation as to the extent that the upcoming Square-Enix game will honour the legacy of the acclaimed stealth action franchise.

    Published at the Francophone gaming news site Jeuxvideo.fr, the image appears to have been clandestinely photographed during a play-test at Eidos Montreal.

    The screen shows a player controlling his avatar from a third-person perspective, slinking through the gas-lit streets of an intricately-detailed urban steam-punk setting.

    While the leaked screen already has some fans theorising that Square-Enix has 'dumbed-down' the series, Thief fans won't be kept in the dark much longer – Eidos will reportedly be showcasing Thief 4 at the Game Developers Conference, which kicks off in San Francisco on Monday.

    More details here and here.

      This is awesome. I thought the Thief franchise was done for. But I am a little skeptical about it if Warren Spector isn't going to be overseeing it as he did the others.

      Hopefully Square is going to do the series justice with this new title. I seriously cannot wait.

      Warren Spector isn't overseeing it? And it's being designed with consoles in mind? I guess time will tell...

      I'm not positive if he's not overseeing it. But I thought I read quite a while ago that he was done with the series. Maybe I'm imagining that though. Guess we'll know when more details come out.

      I am hoping that this won't be Thief 3-ish.

      See sig...

      Square Enix is what has me concerned about this title also. They really need to do the series justice, as this series has a pretty big cult following.

      Another big fan of the series here.
      Dark ambiances, stealth moves and a great gameplay are this series' signature.
