Though it has been 8 years for the reason that final Deus Ex sport (9 in the event you don’t depend Deux Ex: Breach) it looks like Eidos-Montreal is actively attempting to get a brand new sport within the collection made.
That’s in response to a brand new report by Mike Straw of Insider Gaming. Whereas engaged on getting some particulars behind the corporate’s current layoffs, Mike apparently stumbled throughout some intriguing details about Deus Ex.
Straw discovered that Eidos-Montreal has been “pitching the brand new sport usually” to exterior publishers and potential companions. Nevertheless, no person appears to be biting.
The reason being that some publishers consider the collection is simply too area of interest, whereas others “aren’t keen to tackle the monetary danger that comes with the Deus Ex franchise in the mean time.”
The report additionally notes that this could be a wholly new Deus Ex sport not associated to the one which was being labored on below the Embracer group just a few years again. That challenge was formally cancelled in 2024 as a part of Embracer’s restructuring.
What the report doesn’t clarify is why Eidos-Montreal themselves aren’t making the sport, or why one other inner Embracer studio is keen to do it. Maybe Embracer doesn’t see any potential in it, both, and can solely agree if some outdoors writer is keen to take the monetary danger.
Or it could possibly be as a result of one supply informed Insider Gaming that the pitch did doesn’t meet “expectations or requirements usually related to the Deus Ex model”. Ouch.
