Ever since the new millennium began, marking the debut of Deus Ex in 2000, this sci-fi series has consistently launched three follow-ups, boosting its popularity. The latest major installment, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, was released in 2016 and garnered both critical acclaim and commercial success. However, since then, Eidos Montreal has primarily focused on games based on other companies’ intellectual properties, like Marvel’s Avengers and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. If a report from January 2024 is correct, the Canadian studio’s failure to revisit Deus Ex hasn’t been due to a lack of effort, as an associated project in development was allegedly dropped by parent company Embracer Group as part of cost-cutting measures.
