When Thief launched to a lukewarm reception back in 2014, some of you probably feared it would be the end of Garrett's adventures. That might not be the case, though.
We already knew that there's a film adaption of the franchise in the works, but Straight Up Films' description of it has revealed an interesting fact we didn't know:
Thief is an action epic poised to be the next great multi-platform franchise.
Originally released in 1998 by Eidos Interactive (Deus Ex) and distributed by Square Enix (Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy), the Thief series has spanned over fifteen years and four sequels continually retaining loyal audiences and attracting new fans with each iteration. Widely considered to be one of the greatest games ever created, a fifth sequel is currently in development to be released in step with this motion picture adaptation.
Steeped in the steam-punk world created by the video game, the film will tell a new chapter in the storied world of the series' hero.
That's right. Without a word from Square Enix themselves, the film's producers have casually announced that there's a new Thief game on the way. There goes that surprise announcement. Still, it'll be interesting to see what changes they have made after the feedback they got last time.
