What’s not clear from what Grubb is saying here is whether this would be the third game in the Adam Jensen trilogy or not, or something entirely new. Now, under Embracer, it seems like there are a lot more options on the table, including a return to Deus Ex. Eidos went on to work with Crystal Dynamics on Avengers and later on Guardians of the Galaxy. But due to Square Enix’s disappointment with the trajectory of the franchise’s performance, that’s not what happened. That wasn’t quite as well received because it felt a little unfinished and small scale, and it seemed like there was a third part of that trilogy that very much needed to be completed. But there was no way to start that conversation under today’s Square Enix, right?”Īs you may recall, Deus Ex: Human Revolution was released in 2013 to great acclaim (it was definitely my GOTY back then), and then it got a sequel in the form of Mankind Divided in 2016. They want to challenge – they want to do what Cyberpunk 2077 couldn’t, and stuff like that. “The rumble I’ve heard is that the studio wants to get into Deus Ex immediately. “It’s early,” says Grubb on a giant bomb podcast. But according to journalist/insider Jeff Grubb, they may want to turn their attention back to Deus Ex right away. While we’ve heard they’ll be working on Unreal Engine 5 projects as well, IPs like Thief and Legacy of Kain were brought up when the sale happened.
But while we know at least three things Crystal Dynamics has been working on, Avengers content, helping Microsoft with Perfect Dark, and a new Unreal Engine 5 Tomb Raider game, it’s less clear where Eidos is headed.
