Thief Now Also Confirmed For The PS3 And Xbox 360

This has come as somewhat of a surprise (to me at least anyway), but the previously announced next gen only title Thief has now been confirmed for the PS3 and Xbox 360.  The news came from the latest episode of the Eidos Montreal Community series, which is hosted by Community Manager Adam Badke and his guest at that time was Thief Senior Producer Stéphane Roy.  The reason this decision was made, is apparently down to community members asking if the game will ever make it over to the current gen console, here’s what EM Community Manager Adam Badke had to say:

“We’ve received a huge number of questions from community members wondering if the Thief experience would ever be available for their current generation consoles. With full details of the new platforms still emerging, it’s understandable that some of our fans are cautious to plunge feet first into the awesomely hot but unchartered waters of the next generation.

While of course in terms of visuals, the current gen console would be some way behind that of the next gen and PC, Stéphane Roy wanted to make it known that:

 “Thief’s core gameplay experience will be the same across all platforms. The development team wanted to take special care to ensure their vision for the game was achievable on the current generation of machines, so it’s especially exciting to be able to finally announce to our fans around the world that they are able to achieve this goal.”

So there you have it, Thief will now be coming to the PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One in 2014.
