Now that production on Deus Ex: Revolution is finishing up ahead of its August launch, Eidos Montreal’s dev squad is getting stuck back in Thief 4.

“It’s their turn now,” Deus Ex: Human Revolution art director Jonathan Jacques-Belletete tells Eurogamer.

“We’ve ramped down, they’ve ramped up. The main production floor is occupied by them now. We’re occupying a lesser space.

“For the past four years all the directors on Deus Ex were sitting in the same area, with tons of concept art and design papers all pinned up on the walls… the day we went to take them down all the directors of Thief were sitting in our places. It was a weird day.”

The game was officially announced back in 2009, but (appropriately enough, I suppose, went dark subsequently). Nothing much at all is known about it, and that’s not about to change.

“I cannot say anything about the game apart from that it’ll rock your shorts,” says Bellete.
