With the recent announcement that Square Enix has sold off its studios under Square Enix Europe, complete with such franchises as Tomb Raider and Deus Ex, I'm feeling a lot more comfortable about a new Deus Ex coming out before the gen is over. My question at this point is not whether we will see a new game, but rather what said game will look like. So I'm interested to hear what Era would like to see, specifically whether it's a sequel to Mankind Divided, a remaster, or even another reboot.

Personally, I'm strongly in the camp of wanting a sequel to MD. Not saying I wouldn't take a remaster, but anyone who has played MD knows that it has so many hanging threads that I feel it'd be criminal to just let that story die in the water.

Please give me the second half of Mankind Divided. I've been waiting 900 years. I need to know about you-know-what in the vault of the Palisades Bank. My children are starving.

We need the third game in the trilogy. There's a lot of interesting implications regarding Jensen that I want to see more of.

I'm just gonna say this and hopefully be proven wrong but set your expectations accordingly.
If they make another Deus Ex, it will have a lot less budget than the previous two. Not saying it will be worse, but don't expect something as "expensive"


That being said, let Nightdive do a Remake of the original.

I guess they should finish up the Jensen story, but before MD, I was hoping for a new story and protagonist and I still hope they do that after finishing up what they started.

I'd be happy with a fairly basic remaster of the original like Nightdive does. I think a remake is unnecessary, but I wouldn't really hate it either.

Go for the easy money and do a Human revolution remaster and a next gen Mankind Divided patch, then wrap up the story arc in the third game.

Beggars can be choosey: the thread


After listening to some of HBomberguy's "it's OK" video on Deus Ex makes me hope for a game more like the original (even though I never played it)

We need a sequel to Mankind Divided for sure.

What we also need is a bigger proportion of gamers to appreciate immersive sims. The genre, or elements of it, should be way more popular since it makes decision making in the game so much more organic and well, more interesting. No idea why more people played Wolfenstein II TNC over Prey in 2017, for example. Not that Wolf 2 isn't fun, but Prey is way more fun! Facts!! XP

Have Nightdive make a remaster of the original Deus Ex (including a console version that could use the PS2 port as a reference for how to make it more controller-friendly), and make a follow-up to Mankind Divided.

Remaster of Human Revolution and a Mankind Divided sequel. Definitely needs to be a third game with the way Mankind Divided ended.

I'm desperate so I will take anything.

Except a continuation of Invisible War. I'm not that desperate.

Nightdive need to focus all their efforts on a Legacy if Kain remaster collection so we can finally conclude that epic story.

I could 100% see it getting a reboot and marketed almost exactly like Cyberpunk was. A stylish, open-world FPS/RPG in a Cyberpunk setting is a slam dunk on paper, and the series already hits several of those marks. More freedom and interactivity in missions like in an immersive sim would take a lot of time and effort for a huge game like that, but the results could be fantastic.

Except this time, it might actually be a good game not riddled with bigoted shit like CP was (though IIRC Human Revolution/Mankind Divided had some nonsense too).

Personally, I want the devs to remake/rebuild the original from scratch so they understand the originals mechanics/storytelling/style and focus. Kind of like how 343 remade Halo 1 (I know that was more of a "Remaster" built on top of the original and not everyone was happy with it), but more fleshed out like the Revision Mod. Make it in Unreal Engine 5, make it better looking, open up options, fix the AI, refine the combat.

After this either finish Jensons story or soft reboot it straight after.

Definitely prefer something new over a remake or reboot (assuming its the type of reboot that ends up more or less a rethread of the original).

I want a sequel to Mankind Divided but that's probably not the smart business decision this far removed. I expect they would reboot it with a new character where they can answer the lingering plot threads in the background, while mostly doing something new.

Just give me more hubs like Prague and I'm good.

People are really getting their hopes up huh.

I'd be stoked for a proper conclusion to Jensen and a remake of 1 but I just don't see it happening.

A narrative that ties into popular current obviously BS conspiracy theories as limited hangouts (ie Qanon, Pizzagate analogues etc). As they're intended to just muddy waters by the powers that be.

Don't worry too much about fancy high end graphics and flashy cutscenes. Just give me more agency and more choice.

A sequel to Deus Ex MD
A remaster of DX1 for modern systems with a new coat of paint.

Tbh anything.

Remaster of the original. It's by far and away the most replayable. Give that modern visuals and AI but similar or expended level design and options and I will pay whatever they want for it.

Hell, regardless I would at least like a shadowman/turok level remaster.

I also feel like the Jensen arch is sadly...dead. It feels like it was set aside way too long ago for a sequel to hit with any kind of impact...they've simply waited too long. Which means it likely has no chance of selling...something the last game struggled with. I mean. It was shelved for a reason after all.

I'd love a sequel to MD ultimately, but in the meantime I'd love to see a remaster of Human Revolution on current gen consoles and a patch for MD on consoles.... 4K 60 would be nice if doable otherwise dynamic with 60fps is just fine for me.
