Eidos Montreal may be poking fun at the new Call of Duty: Black Ops III trailer, but secretly we suspect that it'll be a teensy bit nervous this morning. Unfortunately for the firm, its Thief reboot boasted some uncanny similarities to the infinitely superior Dishonored – and now it looks like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will be going into battle with Activision's blockbuster brand.
For those of you that missed it, Treyarch teased its forthcoming first-person shooter with a trailer all about bioengineering. Jonathan Jacques-Belletête, who's the art director on Deus Ex, couldn't resist commenting on the similarities to his own game: "Mankind Divided actually takes place on the Eastern Front during World War II," he tweeted. "We felt inspired."
Even the official Deus Ex account got in on the act, posting a picture of a confused looking kitten. All jokes aside, we doubt that the two titles will cannibalise each other – after all, one's a stealth game with role-playing elements, while the other's likely to be a bombastic escapade with a heavy online multiplayer focus. It's all good.

slow day?
Deus Ex will be an infinitely less boring title than Black ops the 3rd
Because Deus Ex is clearly the only form of media to touch on bio engineered humans and its effect on society.
What next, they're the brainchildren of cyberpunk :b
@Mrskinner @DominicanGlory
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Got in there before I could say just that!
Youll always get people that try to compare the two titles though, as theyre both FPS so they must be the same!
Deus Ex will steal the show for me between the two, they just do the whole augmentation thing better than the rest.
I dunno man that's like comparing helicopters and airplanes yeah they both fly but they do the job differently.
@get2sammyb oh, so cute =)
