“For 15 years, Deus Ex has been a point of conversation across the games industry and beyond, whether the topic is the franchise’s unique gameplay or topical narrative focused on advanced biotechnology and human augmentation”, said David Anfossi, Head of Studio, Eidos-Montréal.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is the latest entry in a science fiction video game series that has some series pedigree.
As reported by PC Gamer, online players will soon be able to quench their thirst for an action-packed RPG like “Deus Ex: Mankind Divided”. Don’t expect to see any delays being announced.
Concept art for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided features a reference to protest group Black Lives Matter, with a protester depicted holding up a sign reading “Aug Lives Matter”.
While it was always likely Deus Ex: Mankind Divided was going to hit its targeted release date this summer – August 23, for those wondering – in an era where game development can be prolonged indefinitely, the gold announcement from Eidos Montreal is a welcome bit of certainty.
To capture the reality of human augmentation that exists outside the fantasy world of the game, the Courageous team of award-winning journalists and filmmakers traveled the world to find the people, issues and technologies at the forefront of this movement. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’s mechanical apartheid has set the stage for some emotional, moving storytelling, while the game’s combat system will now allow for either lethal or pacifist Deus Ex: Mankind Divided boss battles.
These choices will dictate how the story is told, meaning the players have a huge say in the fate of protagonist Adam Jensen.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has gone gold, which means it is finished and will be sent out for manufacturing – at least for the physical copies of the game.
