Thief 4 rumored to have online features
Thief 4 may carry online features, and runs on Unreal Engine 4, according to CVs of various Eidos Montreal employees.
Thief 4 seems to be utilizing some form of online features, if the CVs of some Eidos Montreal employees are any indication. If these early hints are true, Thief 4 will be the first game in the series to go online. Details are scant, and online features haven't been officially announced. However, given the proliferation of online passes and DLC, it seems like a reasonable expectation these days.
Users of the forum NeoGAF (via CVG) spotted an employee from Eidos Montreal listed as an Online Programmer. The profile specifically mentions "networking" and "online tools" for Thief 4. That doesn't necessarily mean an online mode will be offered in the new Thief, of course.
We may also now know the engine running the game, as various other CVs mention Unreal Engine 3.
While the evidence suggests Thief 4 will have an online mode, Shacknews has contacted Square Enix to confirm the rumor. We'll update as more information becomes available.

Does DRM count as an 'online feature?'
-
No, the online programmer guy is probably just there for some form of DRM.

Sounds like a bad excuse for needing my email address.

I really hope not. I can't imagine it'd work well for the most part and I don't want the devs distracted by trying to balance / design multiple things. Thief is one of those things that really needs a lot of attention to detail.

I'd totally be down to try some Thief coop.
