Deus Ex 3 will be the third game in the role-playing game series Deus Ex, as well as a prequel to the award winning Deus Ex action/thriller video game.
DevelopmentIt was announced on May 17, 2007, by IGN in an interview with Patrick Melchior, the director of Eidos France, on the French-Canadian television station MusiquePlus.[2] Neither Warren Spector nor Harvey Smith, who were the main creative directors behind the first two games, are attached to the project.[3] Further confirming the game's development, Eidos Montreal's general manager Stéphane D’Astous reported that they have received a "huge mandate" to focus on the creation of Deus Ex 3.[4] In the same report, D’Astous expounded upon the development philosophy being implemented at the new studio. The philosophy focuses on smaller teams with multi-discipline employees. While embraced by the designers, this philosophy means that Deus Ex 3 is scheduled to develop for at least 18 months, if not 24 or more, which puts the earliest release date in the middle of 2009. The last bit of information D'Astous divulged was that Deus Ex 3 had just passed proof of concept, as of late November 2007. A teaser trailer was released on November 26, 2007.[5] The 200th issue of PC ZONE Magazines revealed the conspiracy of Deux Ex 3 along with information and artwork/screenshots. Several controversial design decisions were unveiled, precipitating an initial backlash amongst fans. [6][7][8] PlotSettingThe year 2027, at least 23 years before Deus Ex, which was set in the 2050s.
