There are rumors of Thief 4 being in the works.

Here,

"As you can see on Eidos Montreal's website, they've announced they're recruiting for their second "triple-A" project, and they've provided a hint as to what it might be: "The title begins with the letter 'T'". Now consider that A) Eidos Montreal's website also states that "the first two games we develop will revive successful franchises," B) the other game was previously revealed to be Deus Ex 3, and C) that both Deus Ex and Thief were created by Ion Storm. Add it all up, and we have a hunch this mysterious second title will be a new installment in the Thief series. Furthering the speculation, Eurogamer reports (via Kotaku) that studio head Stephane D'Astous temporarily changed his FaceBook profile picture to a slashed image of the "T" from the Thief logo. When asked by Eurogamer whether they would flatly state Thief 4 is in the works, Eidos declined to comment.
For a game announcement, this is all a little too "Da Vinci Code" for our liking. But if it means another installment in the beloved Thief series -- which would be the first since 2004's Thief: Deadly Shadows -- then we'll take it however we can."
