They have confirmed the game will release this year, but they aren’t being any clearer than that right now. Could it be my early Christmas present? Oh please say it is–although even sooner than that would be great!
From the Press Release:
Quote“Over the past 16 years, the Deus Ex games have been leaders in game design, expertly blending innovative storytelling and gameplay within a compelling game world,” said David Stephen, Managing Director at Feral Interactive. “Deus Ex: Mankind Divided takes it to the next level, giving players an unprecedented degree of freedom in a spectacular cyberpunk setting, where their actions shape both narrative and gameplay.”
They will announce the required PC specifications closer to the launch date.
Incredible news! I played through the previous game years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. So I am already a fan of the series.
It’s worth noting that reviews for the game overall on Steam are "Mixed", mainly due to microtransactions and an apparent abrupt ending. As usual though, I reserve all my thoughts on it until I actually play it.
It’s not cheap at £39.99, so at release you may need to dig a little deep into those pockets of yours. It also has a £24.99 season pass, so hopefully given that price it means extra actual story content will come too.
It’s also one of a select few games that you can buy bundled with a Steam Controller, so if you don’t own one it’s a chance to get some money off buying them together.
About the game
The year is 2029, and mechanically augmented humans have now been deemed outcasts, living a life of complete and total segregation from the rest of society.
Now an experienced covert operative, Adam Jensen is forced to operate in a world that has grown to despise his kind. Armed with a new arsenal of state-of-the-art weapons and augmentations, he must choose the right approach, along with who to trust, in order to unravel a vast worldwide conspiracy.

Pics or it didn't happen! :D

Troll repellent achievement unlocked, thank you for this reply, very useful information. Maybe needs a static page on this portal somewhere?

Quoting: riusmaFeral Radar has been updated with Deux Ex: Mankind Divided in "soon" section, but F-Foxy and Spacious Skies (both soon) as well as 808 SB125 and Depth Charge (both very soon) remain (with Total War: Warhammer obviously)! Four "unidentified" games coming, including perhaps two before Deus Ex and the end of the year! :)
When am I going to play all of this? Didn't even start with Tomb Raider yet! :)
My backlog is getting ridiculus at the minute, I only have like 30 Linux games but still not the time to play them all. I almost regret restarting on Guild Wars 2 (through wine obviously), almost but not quite!
Quoting: skinnyrafYou mean the third game, don't you? :PQuoting: BeamboomThis game fetched a rock solid metascore of 85% with the (real) reviewers saying this gamer corrects the wrongs of the first game (especially the abysmal boss fights).
You mean the wrongs of the second game, don't you? :) [...]
I will definitely be picking this up when it arrives for Linux! I loved Human Revolution and its DLC The Missing Link (both play near-perfectly in Wine) so I'm very much looking forward to continuing the story.
See more from me
