''Thief'' is a 2014 reboot of the ''VideoGame/{{Thief}}'' series of action-adventure stealth games. The game was developed by Eidos Montreal and published by Creator/SquareEnix on February 25,2014. Contrary to many popular rumours, the new ''VideoGame/{{Thief}}'' game is being developed by a mostly different team within Eidos Montreal than the one that worked on ''VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution''.

* StealthBasedGame: Mostly follows the pattern set out by the original series (i.e. stealth based on hiding in shadows and balancing your movement in dark and lit areas for further progression), and Garrett doesn't even have his sword or a dagger this time around.

* GoshDarnItToHeck: Due to fan backlash toward the instances of "fuck", many of the f-bombs were changed to "frig". One can still find a few "fucks" found here and there though.

* MadeOfIron: If you choose to confront [[spoiler: the Thief-Taker General]] in a straight fight during the ClimaxBoss confrontation, he can take an ''incredible'' amount of damage before being defeated (requiring several blast arrows to knock down, which are otherwise a one-hit-kill against anything else.]] Pretty impressive considering he's just a normal human being with no supernatural powers. This is likely to encourage players to take the stealthy approach instead and sneak away from the fight entirely.

* The Plague: The Gloom. Starts out with flu-like symptoms, ends with [[DrivenToSuicide suicidal depression]], and apparently [[OhCrap airborne]].

* GoshDarnItToHeck: Thanks to fan backlash, all instances of "fuck" were changed to "frig".

''Thief'' is an upcoming (2014) reboot of the ''VideoGame/{{Thief}}'' series of action-adventure stealth games. The game is currently still in development by Eidos Montreal and is to be published by Creator/SquareEnix on February 25,2014. Contrary to many popular rumours, the new ''VideoGame/{{Thief}}'' game is being developed by a mostly different team than the one that worked on ''VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution''.

* [[spoiler: AmnesiacHero: Garrett temporarily loses his memory near the start. Fortunately, he recovers it quickly.]]
* CaptainObvious / ParrotExposition: When told, "I want you to get the key", Garrett will think, "I need to get the key." Tellingly, Garrett's monologues can be turned off.

* ImpossibleThief: It's ''Garrett''.

** [[spoiler: DeadSidekick: She doesn't last long.]]
* PacifistRun: Confirmed. You can complete the game without killing a single person.

* StealthBasedGame: Mostly follows the pattern set out by the original series (i.e. stealth based on hiding in shadows and balancing your movement in dark and lit areas for further progression). It remains to be seen how different in terms of difficulty and execution the overall stealth experience will be. Additional gameplay footage released in the coming months might reveal more.

* ContinuityReboot: That much is certain at this point.
** ContinuityNod: However, Garrett starts out as a mentor to a young female thief, which seems to be a ShoutOut to the ending of ''[[VideoGame/{{Thief}} Thief Deadly Shadows]]''.

* CaptainObvious / ParrotExposition: Garrett, to {{Narm}} levels. When told, "I want you to get the key", Garrett will think, "I need to get the key." Tellingly, Garrett's monologues can be turned off.
