US gaming publication Game Informer is set to reveal a new game on the cover of its next issue tomorrow. The magazine has clarified that it’s not going to be Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag which was meant to be announced today, but was leaked late last week.

No idea what it could be but it's definitely interesting.

You know what would make me happy? If it was Assassin's Creed IV(Drop the Black Flag) and it was all just one big troll from Ubisoft. Ubi u so cleverrrrrr

Hmm...they love their Nintendo over there, so a Nintendo title seems likely. If it's the case I'm guessing it's the Wind Waker remake. Their reveals are usually pretty cool regardless, I'm looking forward to it.

Maybe it's Battle of the Tower. I doubt it, though, because it won't be in production until probably 2015 or 2016, so forget it.

A Marjora's Mask reveal would've been the cover in the first place over an Assassin's Creed game. That'd be earthshattering news, haha.

Maybe it`s that new FF game, but then again they said they`d reveal it at E3 so who knows?

If it's a Majora's Mask remake, I'm gonna flip xD

Not Kingdom Hearts. I know that.

but that's already revealed.  this states that it's a game that hasn't been revealed.

I doubt it's Majora's Mask 3D because Nintendo said that they will make a completely new Zelda game before making any more remakes for the 3DS.

Oh yeah, woops lol forgot they said they didn't want to do back to back remakes. If by chance it is a Zelda game, I wonder it will be like since they said it will take gameplay elements from console Zelda titles.

Something good I hope.

Wow, never even heard of the series. Have to check it out now xD

Thanks for the report

Your welcome :)

Small update:

Square has shared a small story summary

 

Time has moved on. Power has shifted. New greed replaces the old.
But to remain free in The City of chains – that is still the greatest prize.
 
First I stole to survive… then I survived to steal.
I am one man; I hear your secrets, see your hidden truths.
I am the shadows, the dark and deadly, the velvet night. You will not see me coming.
 
I am Garrett….What’s yours is mine.

And Game Informer has a coverage trailer

THIEF 4 YESSSSS, one of the best stealth games ever! Beats some AC any day! This will be glorious!

New details on the game are now available:

  • Garret has been away from his hometown for a long time and when he returns to the city, the gap between the rich and the poor is disproportionate.
  • The city is ruled with an iron fist by a man named Baron, who has an army at his disposal.
  • The rich are called “privileged” in the city. Garret sees this as an ideal opportunity to get rich and has no objective of becoming a hero or anything like that. 
  • The first scene starts with Garret in the district called Stone Market, our hero is in the back of a covered wagon. Garret is seen stacking dead bodies who have been killed by a plague raging through the city. 
  • Two wealthy men are seen walking down the street with guards.  Suddenly Garret overhears the two guards talking about a rich man. They are talking of a renowned architect named Theodore Eastwick. This is one of the richest men in the city. Baron personally instructed him to build many of the Gothic buildings of the city.
  • The guards say the architect goes to a brothel called the House of Flowers. It is a clandestine brothel that is only open to the elite of the city.
  • Garret goes there. He is hidden behind crates when he see guards. The screen is covered in those dark moments of a filter that indicates it is well hidden and nobody sees him.
  • You can throw objects like bottles to distract several guards. You can also climb the pipes that run up the side of some buildings.
  • Garret comes through the window and runs through several rooms.
  • Garrett arrives at the brothel and sees Theodore Eastwick entering it. Garret follows.
  • Everything so far was narrated in game.
  • The brothel is full of scantily clad women who entertain their clients. Nearby there is a transvestite named Xiao, who greets all the guests.
  • Garret sees Eastwick go to a room with Xiao. Once it is safe, he goes there and at this time you start a sort of minigame to open a box.
  • Before he can complete it, Xiao enters the room. Garrett hides quickly into a corner and is there undetected. Xiao goes in and out almost immediately to resolve a conflict between two girls.
  • Our character will open the box and take a relic inside that consists of many jewels. He cannot escape; Xiao is on the other side of the door talking to one of his girls.
  • Eventually Garret finds a hidden button that makes the wall show a secret path. Garrett goes through the secret path and through the back doors to the place where Eastwick is.
  • There Garrett steals a medallion that was in his possession and discovered that it is something special. A puzzle then starts in which parts of the medallion are rotated to align with a rune painted on the room's architect. Eastwick is aware of the theft, tells Xiao, who calls the guards.
  • Garrett begins his flight. There are plenty of guards on the premises. While escaping he accidentally hears two girls talking about a problem with the ventilation system, which has been filled with opium accidentally. Garret opens the ventilation system and makes everyone fall asleep. He covers his mouth and nose and continues his escape.
  • Two guards enter through a door at which he shoots an arrow at the statue that’s hanging on a door frame and lets it crush the guards. Garrett steals the guards weapons and fights his way out through the sewers.
  • The artificial intelligence makes it clear that Garrett is not a fighter and that the game is not an action genre. Combating four or more guards is equivalent to suicide. The guards are aware of where they are and the places where thieves can hide. They look in many and varied ways.
  • There will be a compass that tells you where to go.
  • You will be able to explore the city at your leisure.
  • There will always be multiple entrances to all rooms and locations.
  • You can turn off the lights and candles to darken the rooms
  • There will be set of footprints that will give you clues which drawer is a better loot. We can also pickpocket people in the streets.
  • You can improve your skills. At the end of the levels you are allowed to spend money on improving your skills and get supplies.
  • The developers are seeking to make a combat system for those who want to fight from time to time. 
  • You can knock out the guards with a blow if you catch them from behind.
  • You may use tools in the room to defend yourself (bottles, switches ...).
  • You will have a bow with all kinds of arrows, arrows to put out candles and candlesticks, smoke arrows to distract leaving a trail behind.
  • Eidos wants to be faithful to the style of Thief and has lowered the magical tone of the series.

Update:

An interesting bit of info is that the game's art style was greatly influenced by movies, such as Oliver Twist, Roman Polanski and Sweeney Todd, as well as Assassin's Creed. And the gameplay influences include some stealth games such as Metal Gear.

While many have compared the game to Dishonered upon seeing screens of it, the game's director Nicolas Cantin has said it will be different and heavily stealth based.
