Previously announced solely for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, Thief has officially been confirmed to be coming the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, as well. The announcement was made on the Eidos Montreal community blog, where Senior Producer Stéphane Roy explained that the upcoming stealth game would launch across all five platforms in 2014.

As is to be expected, the visuals will take a bit of a hit on current-gen hardware, but because we’re so far into this console cycle, Roy stated that the game will still look really good from a graphical standpoint on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. As far as gameplay and controls are concerned, players can expect the same type of experience across all versions of Thief.

Roy also joked about the rise of dogs as part of the next generation of gaming. “We’re working very hard on it, but I promise, I promise dogs will be in current-gen,” stated the senior producer.

The best part about all of this — yes, there’s something even bigger than the dog news — is that all versions of Thief are being developed by the same team at Eidos Montreal. That means folks playing on older hardware can expect something that isn’t just a port handled by another group of developers. Okay, okay, so maybe that isn’t as awesome as the dog thing.
