Even though Thief 4 is being planned as both a way to reboot the series and its stealth aspect, Eidos Montreal reiterates it will still be possible to play the new game similar to previous games in the series.

While most reboots have dramatic changes, Eidos stated they are making sure the ability to play the game entirely in a non-lethal way will remain intact for Thief 4.

Similar to Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the game will provide several different outcomes possible for certain situations as a way to provide different game play styles being possible. It also allows Edios Montreal to cater to a wider variety of people ranging from the series hardcore to newcomers and those who favor action to those who favor stealth.

Eidos Montreal community manager Adam Badke stated:

"Players will have multiple ways to approach their objectives and each objective can be reached using Garrett’s various tools, by exploring and by playing with your environment. Each path comes with a set of challenges, encounters and looting opportunities. Difficulty options allow the experience to be scaled for hardcore fans of the original series, but to also let newcomers have a lot of fun. And yes, you can complete the game without killing anybody – Garrett is a Master Thief, not a killing machine!"
