It’s been six years since Eidos Montreal’s last stab at Deus Ex, so it feels like there’s been a decent length of time between that and any new take on the series. The development studio’s new owner, Embracer Group, said earlier this year that they saw “great potential” in more games in the Deus Ex series, as well as other acquired IP such as Tomb Raider and Legacy Of Kain. As I reported last month, Legacy Of Kain devs Crystal Dynamics have already been surveying to glean potential interest in new games in that series. Embracer bought a batch of Square Enix studios back in May, a deal that was completed in August. It emerged yesterday that the studio formerly known as Square Enix Montreal will close, only a few weeks after the studio announced its rebranding as Onoma. Some staff from the shuttered Onoma, who developed the mobile game Deus Ex Go, will move to Eidos Montreal to work on projects there. There aren’t any concrete deets on when we’ll see the next Deus Ex yet. I’ll let you know as soon as we hear more. While you’re waiting, why not check out our list of the best stealth games on PC?
