The developers of Thief have one shot to get it right

After disappointing sales of Tomb Raider and Hitman: Absolution Square Enix revealed that they were going through a massive restructuring, and the dismissal of former President Yoichi Wada.

So what does have to do with Eidos Montreal and Thief? Production for the development of reboot of the Thief series has had several setbacks during it’s long development cycle. Thief Producer Stefan Roy told Joystiq at E3 that the developer “cannot compromise with this one. We reinvented this franchise, I think we have a single shot. We cannot say, ‘oh sorry, we missed, so we are going to try again.’ No, it doesn’t work that way…So we cannot, compromise, we must really give a good product, we must work closely with the marketing to make sure that the messaging around the game is really clear.â€

Thief is currently slated to be released on the Xbox One and PS4, but no exact date has been given.
