The latest rumor to circulate around the Internet today is one that may delight fans of the Thief series. According to mass speculation brought on by a recruitment ad in the back of the latest EDGE magazine, Eidos is set to reveal a new game on May 11.
Two images of the ad were snapped by GameSpot forum member angelkimne and posted on their boards. Some quick detective work found that the quotes used in the ad correspond to articles focusing on the previous entries in the Thief series. Those particular articles can be found here, here, and here. Combine that with a Wiki-factoid of Eidos already being hard at work on Thief 4 and you have a recipe for a spoiled surprise.
