Sequel?

[Bing Chillin']

When?

[jack_of_tears]

The developers said they never plan on making another Thief game after they were butthurt by the reactions to this one. The way remakes are popping up everywhere, though, I imagine it'll only be a few more years.

I assume it depends on whether SE can rent out the studio to make more Disney games, if not then the deus ex Adam Jensen arc conclusion and later another thief reboot could happen.

[Nocturno]

Boomers whined too much and SE stopped bothering.

[Bankai9212]

More like it didn’t sell well enough so SE placed it on ice. But I guess it’s easy to blame old fans not like the game was catered to them or new players.

This franchise has had a REALLY bad time trying to figure out what it wanted to be. There was that rejected "Keeper of Ways" pitch that had the design docs posted online (darker and edgier Thief set in the modern day, with Garrett as a moody loner-type), the rejected plans for what was originally set to be Thief 4, and then the end product in 2014, which allegedly sold so bad that the design director clowned on it when he was asked if they would make any more installments.

The problem isn't the material, necessarily -- it's the design team. Hell, DX Human Revolution was made during this time, and is still critically praised for negating all the controversial changes Invisible War shoved in.

rather than a sequel, I'd like to see thief gold and metal age (and even deadly shadows) redone in the graphics quality of Thief 2014... but with the controls the same as with the original games...I want to jump when ever I want and not only just when the dev feel like allowing me to! ... and leaning! (what were they THINKING!?) and last of all, I want Stephen Russel to come back to voice Garrett AND Benny! (yeah, I miss old Benny)

THIS.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ developers totally destroyed our beloved series. I hope they all lost their jobs and got canned.

Considering what they’ve done recently I doubt they’ll ever make anything decent again.

Just shut your gob. Nobody likes to listen to your pointless vitriol. This franchise was long dead before they even made this one. Shouldn't hamper your enjoyment of the older entries.

Well despite 3 not selling well it was a fine ending to the series, square just got the ip and ran it into the ground.

Sad to hear that, cause in my opinion this game is fire, i know there are many other games which has a better design, a better story, etc. but Thief in its own a specia,l unique game... i would love to have a new sequal

[Bankai9212]

The series is special, this reboot not so much.

[Zytel]

A sequel might not happen. A continuation or a reboot in style of the original also probably not, but who knows.

[talloyer]

I'm afraid not. Eidos Montreal is the current responsible for making Thief, and it is very apparent Thief is NOT in the studio plan.

[dprog1995]

Why should they make any sequels ?

Thief fans for some reason want a lame Thief 1 and Thief 2 reskins instead of an actual sequel.
