This is the story from Insider Gaming, who say that the downsized studio was (and possibly still is) putting this project forward on a regular basis. Sources say that potential publishing partners simply aren't willing to financially back Deus Ex as a franchise these days.
As the report points out, this Deus Ex title is not the same project that was cancelled when Embracer Group laid off close to 100 Eidos Montreal employees last year. It would seem as though the developer is trying to get back off the ground with a fresh take on the property.
It's interesting, because in a post-Cyberpunk 2077 world, we would have thought that Deus Ex would get another chance. If Eidos Montreal really is trying to get the series up and running again — especially with that aforementioned cancellation in mind — then the studio clearly believes in its potential.
We'll have to wait and see whether anything comes of this, but would you be up for more Deus Ex? Feel free to augment yourself in the comments section below.
