Square Enix and Eidos Montréal have produced a four-part documentary on the Deus Ex series to celebrate the release of the original action/RPG 15 years ago today (give, or take a few days) and the upcoming installment in the series, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. The first chapter, "Legacy of Deus Ex," is now available, and for some reason it is posted exclusively at IGN. The accompanying announcement also offers a chance to vote on contents for a collector's edition, and explains how to score a free digital copy of Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut by donating over one dollar to charity through Gamechanger. Here's what's up:

Square Enix® and Eidos Montréal®, the award-winning studio behind the critically acclaimed Deus Ex: Human Revolution®, today announced that, as part of the franchise's 15th anniversary, they are producing a special four-episode documentary that highlights the progression of the series from the original Deus Ex® launch on June 26, 2000 to the upcoming Deus Ex: Mankind Divided™.
