Since the release of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, there's been a lot of speculation over the future of the series. The 2016 sequel was well received by critics, but it struggled to resonate with a larger audience. Not too long after, developer Eidos Montreal was assigned to different projects, leading to rumours that the property had been put on ice -- perhaps indefinitely.
However, Square Enix CEO Yosuke Matsuda has reassured Games Industry that Deus Ex isn't done and dusted. He told the publication: "We have never said anything about discontinuing that title but for some reason that's the rumour out on the market. What I can say is Eidos Montreal has always developed Deus Ex, and the issue is we do not have limitless resources." In other words, the studio is simply busy with other things, and it's likely that it'll come back around to Deus Ex at some point in the future.
"The reason there isn't a Deus Ex right now is just a product of our development line-up because there are other titles we are working on," Matsuda reiterates.

They are one of the studios that was announced to be working on the Marvel games, so I imagine they are very busy.
Yeah but, and correct me if I am wrong, wasn't mankind divided supposed to be a longer game and they reportedly cut content so they could make a sequel? Hence why it ends abruptly with a no real resolution? Didn't they also force micro-transactions in at the last minute? I think they are just focusing on new IP's - best be careful though Square, Disney aren't going to like Marvel games with lootboxes!
It'd be nice to have a resolution to the abrupt ending of Mankind Divided! It's a great series, so I hope they can return to it sooner or later.
Give me moar!
Nope, not stoked because they should be working on Mankind Divided pt. 2. Was NOT happy that there was literally only one boss fight in the whole game and then it’s just over. I feel completely ripped off, so thanks Square.
I really want the series to continue, but please, make the boss fights interesting. I still liked Mankind Divided though.
Eidos was assigned to make a Marvel game too, not sure when we will see another Deus Ex.
I personally love the Deus Ex series so I hope they come back to it. I was also disappointed by the end of Mankind Divided, but hey-ho, life goes on. It was sill a great game on the whole.
Aren't they meant to be working on the new tomb raider (although it has not been confirmed at this point), while crystal dynamics work on the marvel game?
Either way, this is good news. They need to finish off the story they started inmankind divided, hopefully sooner rather than later
Great news. This is one of the best series ever. Both human revolution and mankind divided were really great games. I really hope we will get a direct sequel to mankind D. They could totally re-use the same assets and carry on.
I really hope they're able to take a step back and look at what made DXHR so good, and DXMD kinda meh. Like others, when i got to the end of DXMD, it ended so abruptly I felt like it was part 1 of a 2 part game.
Please bring more deus ex!!! This is one of my favorite IPs n video games and I'll hate to have to wait another 10 years for more. And tbh i really ended up enjoying the crap out of breach mode. I found the story to be kinda easy and it provided a more challenging approach to the de formula
Give me Adam Jenson over any superhero.
Im guessing if cyberpunk 2077 becomes a hit, then SE will be pushing eidos to make a new deus ex realy fast. But i hope eidos is already working on a new part cause i realy like the deus ex series
Playing Human Reveloution currently on my WiiU. Great game- Loved Mankind Divided. Great, great games.
