A post to the
Eidos Montreal blog has a post about what they are up to that includes plans
for
Deus Ex Universe, an "ongoing, expanding and connected game world
built across a generation of core games" as well as a new Deus Ex game coming to
Windows and consoles. They include a piece of concept art and this write-up from
David Anfossi:
The concept behind Deus Ex: Universe is to create an
ongoing, expanding and connected game world built across a generation of core
games. It’s a commitment on our part to deliver meaningful content that expands
the franchise on a regular basis and to deliver a deep conspiracy that will span
several connected Deus Ex games, creating a more immersive and richer experience
than ever before. Deus Ex: Universe will include PC and console games, but also
additional Deus Ex games and experiences available in other media such as
tablets, smartphones, books, graphic novels, etc... You might have seen the name
pop up recently in the press – well this is what it’s all about. I’m pleased to
confirm that we are already into production of the starting point for Deus Ex:
Universe with a new game for PC and next-generation consoles. We’re very excited
about it at the studio and I wanted to let you know that most of the team behind
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is already working hard on this new game. It took us
four years to learn how to create a unique Deus Ex experience with Human
Revolution and it was important for me to keep this knowledge within the
franchise.
I want to leave you with
a piece of concept art from our next-gen Deus Ex game that shows
trans-humanism segregation, which is a backdrop to our vision for the next Deus
Ex. It represents a "ghetto-city' voluntarily built in order to separate the
classes. The people in this segregated class have reshaped their environment,
nostalgic for their ideal of Cyber Renaissance. This dark and dystopian vision
sets the tone for things to come in Deus Ex. For now, I hope you are excited
about the future of this game that we love so much. Deus Ex is coming to
next-gen, it’s early so don’t expect to hear much more from us just yet, but I
wanted you to know. I'm very excited as a developer and gamer!
