Although
it
has
been
8
years
since
the
last
Deus
Ex
game
(9
if
you
don’t
count
Deux
Ex:
Breach)
it
seems
like
Eidos-Montreal
is
actively
trying
to
get
a
new
game
in
the
series
made.
That’s
according
to
a
new
report
by
Mike
Straw
of
Insider
Gaming.
While
working
on
getting
some
details
behind
the
company’s
recent
layoffs,
Mike
apparently
stumbled
across
some
intriguing
information
about
Deus
Ex.
Advertisements
Straw
learned
that
Eidos-Montreal
has
been
“pitching
the
new
game
regularly”
to
external
publishers
and
potential
partners.
However,
nobody
seems
to
be
biting.
The
reason
is
that
some
publishers
believe
the
series
is
too
niche,
while
others
“aren’t
willing
to
take
on
the
financial
risk
that
comes
with
the
Deus
Ex
franchise
at
the
moment.”
The
report
also
notes
that
this
would
be
an
entirely
new
Deus
Ex
game
not
related
to
the
one
that
was
being
worked
on
under
the
Embracer
group
a
few
years
back.
That
project
was
officially
cancelled
in
2024
as
part
of
Embracer’s
restructuring.
What
the
report
doesn’t
explain
is
why
Eidos-Montreal
themselves
aren’t
making
the
game,
or
why
another
internal
Embracer
studio
is
willing
to
do
it.
Perhaps
Embracer
doesn’t
see
any
potential
in
it,
either,
and
will
only
agree
if
some
outside
publisher
is
willing
to
take
the
financial
risk.
Or
it
could
be
because
one
source
told
Insider
Gaming
that
the
pitch
did
does
not
meet
“expectations
or
standards
typically
associated
with
the
Deus
Ex
brand”.
Ouch.
