Update, May 14: Eidos Montreal aren’t letting Deus Ex go, but they aren’t reviving it just yet either.
Last week, Eidos Montreal studio head David Anfossi confirmed to us in no uncertain terms that “Deus Ex is not dead.” But don’t expect to see another entry in that series in the near future. The development team has three projects in the works, and a new Deus Ex is not one of them.
Still, this means three significant upcoming PC games from a terrific studio.
“At the moment we have three productions at different stages,” Anfossi tells VentureBeat, referencing the expanding size of the studio. “That’s a big change. Before, it was one production at a time, or maybe two. But now we have three productions, three developments in parallel.”
We know the first of those games is Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and the second is The Avengers project built in collaboration with Crystal Dynamics. Rumours suggest the third game is Guardians of the Galaxy, though that’s as yet unconfirmed. “I can’t speak about this one,” Anfossi says, “because we’re still at an early stage to define the product itself. But it’s definitely triple-A.”
Anfossi refers to the eventual return of Deus Ex in different terms, however. “We’re a big studio. We’re close to 500 people now. But at the same time, we have three developments in parallel. We have to make sure we deliver the quality we want. No compromise on that. When it will be the time for Deus Ex, it will be the time, and we’ll do it correctly.”
