Eidos-Montréal founder Stéphane D’Astous is interested in making a new Deus Ex. In a conversation with Thunderpick, he expressed willingness to bring back old developers who worked during his time at the studio (2007-2013) to build a new game that respects the foundations of Deus Ex, keeping its core mechanics of choice and consequence while expanding on what modern technologies allow for today. “That would be a perfect circle back to my early career,” he said. “I would definitely be able to gather former employees who worked on it (Deus Ex: Human Revolution) and other people that would love to work on it.” Stéphane also described his vision for how the IP should be handled, with an emphasis on single player, story driven games, steering away from mobile platforms “We wanted maybe to add more different multiple endings that are well thought out. I would concentrate on a single-player game, not mobile, as I don’t believe it’s the proper platform for it.” Stéphane D’Astous also criticized Embracer's handling of the Deus Ex franchise, referring to the cancelation of the 2024 Deus Ex game: “I was very disappointed when Lars from Embracer said in 2024 they wouldn’t do any more Deus Ex,” he revealed. “I said, ‘What are they thinking? That was the bread and butter; that’s the DNA of the studio (Eidos-Montréal).’” Speaking on the future of Eidos-Montréal, Stéphane was not full of positivity here, but I personally believe Stéphane had some remakes on Phil Rogers, CEO of Embracer Group, although he did not mention him by name: “I founded Eidos Montreal. It was my baby. I left in 2013 and mentioned reasons of leadership, courage, and communication. Without giving the name of the person that I was relating to, that person is still at Eidos, and now Embracer. Was it Einstein who said, ‘Only stupid people hope to have a different outcome when they repeat something’? There you go, that’s a great example.” “Because of who is in the driver’s seat in London, and Embracer had the great idea to promote him if you look at his title. If they’re cursed? I’m afraid so.” Link to the entire conversation: thunderpick.io/blog/stephane-… (very good read if you ask me)

@Gilrond1 I wrote he is interested, not that he is actually making one. They now have to sit at the negotiation table and get a deal sorted out.

@MyK_DiaBLo A new Deus Ex can still feature Adam Jensen. The character is still popular and he was in the 2024 game, that was cancelled.

We're at the halfway point between the year Deus Ex released (2000) and the year it takes place (2052) HB to the OG

Conspiravision: Deus Ex Remixed was released 6 years ago, a modern take on the soundtrack of the original Deus Ex by the original composers Alexander Brandon and Michiel van den Bos. What is your favorite track of the album?

Happy anniversary to the first Deus Ex! A game that defined a genre and set unbeatable expectations, 26 years later, many still crown it as the greatest game of all time. 🥳

@deckerparkes He doesn't make decisions on his own, Deus Ex MD had a large marketing team behind it.

Eidos-Montréal Marketing Director Rodney Lelu has announced he is leaving the studio after more than a decade, he was involved in the marketing of the games released by the studio since 2013, including the Deus Ex Universe. More talent is leaving the studio 💔 Link: linkedin.com/posts/rodneyle…

The recent comments made by Phil Rogers had a very familiar echo that I remember very well. In 2017, Square Enix CEO (at the time) Yosuke Matsuda also talked about Deus Ex as rumors were circulating that the IP was abandoned in favor of Marvel games, stating "a lack of resources". We never got that Deus Ex game we deserve, I don't care if I get hate for saying this, I love Deus Ex so much but I am so fucking tired of hearing people in charge only talking about how much Deus Ex is important to them, fans are tired of talking, we want to see actions, save the pep talk for the behind the scenes stuff.

Phil Rogers, CEO of Embracer Group, has elaborated more on his idea regarding the revival of dormant IPs like Deus Ex through external collaborations. “We can’t work on everything ourselves... We could find other teams who say, ‘I’ve got this idea’, ‘I’ve got a treatment.’ This happens in other entertainment forms, right? You get treatments, and you work on that basis. Whether it’s remakes, remasters, a new treatment or an adaptation in some way.” Link: thegamebusiness.com/p/embracer-ceo…

Deus Ex fans, look at this box of goodies I found. A bunch of Adam Jensen pop figures and a bunch of bottles of Neuropozyne! This was given to me by marketing a while ago. I'm going to sign them all and put 'em up on my autograph store. Get them before they're gone! eliastoufexis.com/autograph-store

"Don't sign the contract!" Legendary game designer Warren Spector tells the story how Deus Ex almost did not happen, and how John @romero drove down in his Hummer to stop him from signing a contract for a Command and Conquer game, and to hire him to make the game of his dreams.

Following a secret change, Eidos-Montréal Community Manager Sacha Ramtohul clarified on Reddit that the Steam cover art of Deus Ex: Game of the Year Edition and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided was changed to take advantage of Steam's graphical assets dimensions update. This was to follow Steam-wide instructions for the dimensions introduced a few months ago. link: reddit.com/r/Deusex/comme…

Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided are both 90% off on Steam for the first time! Classic DX games are also on sale until June 8: eidos.to/4tTanXq

@FireTyphoon_ That's gonna be the tricky part. Whoever does the next game, they need to live up to the expectations fans know and love about Deus Ex, it must be done well.

The popularity of a character such as Adam Jensen still proves he is still the defacto face of Deus Ex. Seeing all the news surrounding #DeusEx this week, I noticed that most (if not all) websites reporting the fact Embracer wants to bring back Deus Ex were using Adam Jensen as their cover image. Finishing Adam's story and bridging the gap between DXMD and DX1 has been the most requested dream of the DX community over the past decade. Many of the developers who crafted the aura of Adam's character have scattered around different studios. If there is a name that comes to mind though, I would love to see @theroguefactor take a crack at this as many former Eidos devs have moved there.

@the_clevergamer It would be the smart thing to do 💯
