Deus Ex actor Elias Toufexis has denied operating on a sequel to 2016’s Mankind Divided after rumours circulated on account of a misinterpreted tweet.
Toufexis posted on June 1 that he is been voicing a personality “on this large AAA recreation for a couple of years”, inflicting hypothesis that he was once speaking a few 5th mainline Deus Ex recreation. Toufexis’ perfect identified position is as Adam Jensen, the protagonist of Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. The latter recreation ended on a cliffhanger lovers had been hoping shall be resolved for a few years.
This tied in with Embracer Workforce’s fresh feedback (the brand new proprietor of the Deus Ex franchise) that it sees “great potential” in sequels, remakes, and spin-offs of Deus Ex, however Toufexis has now put those rumours to mattress.
I tweet about anything else in gaming after which articles pop out pronouncing I’ve showed Deus Ex. Guys, I’ve performed one thing like 30 video games since Deus Ex. I’m on a pair at the moment which are even larger than Deus Ex.
Don’t concern, I can allow you to know after I know anything else. pic.twitter.com/hLC36nWp4t— Elias Toufexis (@EliasToufexis) June 2, 2022
“I tweet about anything else in gaming after which articles pop out pronouncing I have showed Deus Ex,” he stated. “Guys, I have performed one thing like 30 video games since Deus Ex. I am on a pair at the moment which are even larger than Deus Ex. Do not be disturbed, I can allow you to know after I know anything else.”
Whilst the Deus Ex franchise started in 2000 (with a sequel launched in 2003), the series was revamped in 2011 with Human Revolution. The collection was once reportedly put on hold after the latter failed to meet sales expectations (regardless of being very well received) and developer Eidos-Montréal later helped Crystal Dynamics with Shadow of the Tomb Raider earlier than developing last year’s Guardians of the Galaxy game.
It is these days unknown what Eidos-Montréal is operating on subsequent, however as discussed prior to now, its new owner Embracer Group is outwardly desperate to revisit Deus Ex. In line with Toufexis’ feedback, he is heard not anything but, however we will hope.
Ryan Dinsdale is an IGN freelancer who on occasion recalls to tweet @thelastdinsdale. He’s going to speak about The Witcher all day.
