Square Enix showed the first big details for Deus Ex: Mankind Evolved, the latest in a series about the conflict between humans and people with augmented cybernetics. The Japanese publisher of the Final Fantasy series released the trailer and discussed it on Twitch, a first for a major game.
Square Enix didn’t say when the game is arriving, but players can preorder it now. It shows that Square Enix is still betting big on high-end video games at a time when mobile and online drive the industry’s growth. This upcoming release is a long-awaited sequel to the 2011 game Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and it will come out on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the PC.
The actual announcement shows that Adam Jensen, whose body has been augmented with cybernetic parts, is still the hero. Now, he is apparently hunting other augmented humans who have been labeled as terrorists after the events of the previous game. Eidos Montreal is developing it with an all-new tech dubbed the Dawn Engine.
The year is 2029, and mechanically augmented humans have now been deemed outcasts, living a life of complete and total segregation from the rest of society. Now an experienced covert-agent, Adam Jensen is forced to operate in a world that has grown to despise his kind. Armed with a new arsenal of state-of-the-art weapons and augmentations, he must choose the right approach, along with who to trust, in order to unravel a vast worldwide conspiracy.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is coming soon on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. #CantKillProgress
