Multi-game Deus Ex: Universe planned
That Deus Ex: Universe trademark? It’s not what itmight’ve sounded like. Eidos Montreal has lifted the lid on its future plans for the franchise, which include multiple games for PC/consoles as well as mobile titles, books, and graphic novels — that’s what Universe is all about.
“The concept behind Deus Ex: Universe is to create an ongoing, expanding and connected game world built across a generation of core games,” writes studio head David Anfossi. “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 connectedDeus Exgames, creating a more immersive and richer experience than ever before.”
An important first step is a new core game from the team behindHuman Revolution. Announced for next-generation consoles and PC, the title is currently in production and you can see the first concept art above. We actually asked for this! “[The artwork] shows trans-humanism segregation, which is a backdrop to our vision for the nextDeus Ex,” says Anfossi.
“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 inDeus Ex.”
