Thief could be killed off if next year’s reboot isn’t a success, Eidos Montreal has warned.

Speaking to VideoGamer.com yesterday, Thief’s producer Stephane Roy said that he “really want[s Thief] to be part of your future and not just part of your past…

“If people don’t like this game, I doubt we’re going to have more. I don’t want to have another ten years between this game and another one. I want to make sure we’re going to [be able to continue] to work on this franchise, so we must succeed on this one.”

Thief has been in the shadows since 2004, when the third game, Thief: Deadly Shadows launched on PC and Xbox.

But the decision to bring back the series “is not just a short-term decision,” Roy adds.
