The reason there isn't a Deus Ex right now is just a product of our development line-up because there are other titles we are working on." Of course, it would be ideal if we could work on all of them all of the time, but some titles have to wait their turn. "We have several big titles that we work with and that's partly a factor in what our line-up looks like. While Matsuda avoided the term "hiatus", he did confirm that, despite Square's previous grand plans for the series, no Deus Ex game is currently in the works: "What I can say is Eidos Montreal has always developed Deus Ex, and the issue is we do not have limitless resources. "We have never said anything about discontinuing that title but for some reason that's the rumour out on the market", Matsuda claimed. In a new interview with, however, Yosuke Matsuda has finally addressed Deus Ex's future, stating that it has not been cancelled - which sidesteps Eurogamer's report of a hiatus for the series. Following Mankind Divided's underwhelming sales, Square Enix became tight-lipped regarding Deus Ex's future prospects. Prior to its release, Square had talked bullishly about its plans to create an "ongoing, expanding and connected game world built across a generation of core games", including a third, concluding entry for the narrative arc started in 2011's Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
#Deus ex the d project series
Alas we're years away from that kinda interactive entertainment.Square Enix CEO Yosuke Matsuda has spoken out on the future of Deus Ex - the first time the company has discussed the status of its long-running sci-fi series since reports emerged more than ten months ago that it had been placed on hiatus.īack in January, Eurogamer revealed that Square Enix had put Deus Ex on hiatus after the well-regarded Deus Ex: Mankind Divided failed to generate the level of sales needed to grow the series into a mainstream franchise. If one could I would've tasked him to assassinate her as a priority target and then probe deeper into what's behind her. It's completely irritating that you can't tell JC that he's barking up the wrong tree regarding her. I wasn't surprised by Megan much throughout the game pretty much softens the blow about what eventually occurs. So I'd definitely say that its done its job well, to do that. In DEx1, the two brothers discuss this and JC finds out more as he goes along in that game (if I remember correctly) so it's only loosely connected to anyone that didn't play the first game (or simply doesn't remember it).Īctually in playing this game, it dredged up a lot of the things I remember about the Original in order for me to be writing this. It s not a sinister thing, just science doing what's requested of it. Genomic projects (beginning as early as the 1960's) were everything from finding genetic to synthetic bonds all the way up to super soldiers and so on. I could be wrong but I thought 'White Labs' was one of the many researchers into the genomic project initiative. He was actually known as JC Denton to her (from White Labs) prior to the fire that took his parents, (who weren't actually his parents but scientists). That's because they are both adoptees to different couples supposedly. There are others too, I'm sure, but I won't try to list them all here.Ī few of the Wikia pages provide more in-depth information, here's a few that are the most pertinent:Īctually its a prequel, with just enough room left over to expand a little on how the two fit in (obviously via DLC for this game, if they bother at all). There are also other weaker links throughout the game, for example when Jenson detonates the bomb in Hengsha shipyard he inadvertently allows Tracer Tong (a major character in Deus Ex) to escape the island. Specifically, the little hidden element from the credits (that you mention) infers that Megan Reed is working with the Bob Page (and therefore the Illuminati), so is presumably using Adam's DNA to help them develop the nano-augmentations that appear in Deus Ex and the "nanite-virus chimera" mentioned may presumably result in the Grey Death. However, they have already made some fairly strong links between DE:HR and the original. The "Missing Link" DLC has been announced (for October), but this will apparently be set in the time between Jenson leaving Hengsha and arriving in Singapore so will not carry the story forward past the end of the game, but it may well provide more exposition on how the games are linked.
