A post to the Deus Ex messageboard by Bob White offers a progress report on ION Storm's upcoming Action/RPG. Thanks Gollywog at StormTroopers. Here's the quote:

Well...We have an internal deadline to reach by April 1 of a playable first section of the game (a couple of missions). Also we have set a high goal for ourselves of also having all geometry for everty mission complete. This team is strong and driven to get their tasks completed. I am proud to say that this team will reach the goal and on time.

These first two sections of the game, based in the burrows of NYC, will also comprise the demo, since they could be stand alone and provide an excellent set-up or the rest of the missions. You will get to see these at E3 if you are one of the lucky ones to get a glimpse of the game.

The programmers have been sailing along and a good deal of the functionality is in place. The first two missions scripts are in the game and voice overs are also in place.

Hopefully more screen shots and additional game information will soon start trickling out to help whet your appetites.
