There has been a ton of information popping up recently about Square Enixs upcoming Thief game. When the screenshots were released, many said that the game looks very similar to Arkanes stellar steampunk stealth gameDishonored.

GameInformer cited an example of some servers talking about a time when the level's ventilation system was contaminated by opium.

quickly while holding his breath so that he doesn't get calmed down too. The Thief games are set to be released for the PC, the PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360 and possibly the next-gen consoles in 2014. * +
