Eidos-Montreal has announced Deus Ex Universe: a series of interconnected games in the Deus Ex franchise, planned to span PC, next-generation consoles, tablets, smartphones, books and graphic novels.


We first heard about Deus Ex Universe through a trademark filing spotted last month, but up until now we didn't know anything about it. In a blog post, studio head David Anfossi described Deus Ex Universe as "an ongoing, expanding and connected game world built across a generation of core games."


It continues, "It’s a commitment on our part to deliver meaningful content that expands the franchise on a regular basis and to deliver a deep conspiracy that will span several connected Deus Ex games, creating a more immersive and richer experience than ever before.


"Deus Ex: Universe will include PC and console games, but also additional Deus Ex games and experiences available in other media such as tablets, smartphones, books, graphic novels, etc..."


Eidos-Montreal has apparently started production on the first product in Deus Ex Universe; a new game for PC and next-generation consoles. Anfossi also added that most of the team who worked on Deus Ex: Human Revolution have already jumped over to the new title.


While we may not have a name for it just yet, we have been given a piece of concept art that supposedly shows "shows trans-humanism segregation, which is a backdrop to our vision for the next Deus Ex. It represents a "ghetto-city' voluntarily built in order to separate the classes. The people in this segregated class have reshaped their environment, nostalgic for their ideal of Cyber Renaissance. This dark and dystopian vision sets the tone for things to come in Deus Ex."


Given all the talk of "an ongoing, expanding and connected game world" that'll expand "on a regular basis", the temptation is to assume this may mean a Deus Ex MMO could be on the way in the near future. Until Eidos-Montreal gives us more details though, we're just going to have to be patient.


To tide us over however, the studio has announced the long-awaited Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut will be available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U and PC on October 22 in North America and on October 25 in Europe and Australia.

I just want a sequel to Human Revolution. No crappy handheld games, no lame tablet titles, just a full fledged, console/PC sequel to HR. Hopefully we get that sooner rather than later.

I freaking hate tablet games....

I do hope for another great Deus Ex on PC/console though

There sure has been a lot of activity with the Deus Ex franchise lately. After Eidos Montreal announced a new entry in the series, we get another, albeit much more tenuous, piece of information. A recent casting call for a “confidential video game” makes it sounds like the developer is either about to start or.

I've been thinking about getting the Deus Ex HR game. Was it any good?

yes it was one of the best games made recently in years. If you can you should wait and pick up the director's cut. Which will be even better. It's on all systems with the exception of the upcoming ones for now.
