Speaking with Gamasutra, Eidos Montreal's general manager Stéphane D’Astous has revealed the studios' first project -- Deus Ex 3. According to D'Astous, the in-house development team "has just passed proof of concept" for the title, but revealed no further details.
"The game was very highly rated at its release in 2000," he says, "and we have this great huge mandate to do the third one, and everyone is very excited."
Depending on your level of commitment, the original futuristic first-person shooter/RPG is considered by some to be the best in the genre. So why not leave well enough alone? The series' lead-designer, Warren Spector seems content to move on -- his studio, Junction Point Studios, was acquired by Disney Interactive earlier this year. He is, by all accounts, likely not working on anything that resembles Deus Ex.
Here's to hoping Eidos Montreal has the talent and vision to do the series justice. And here's to a new generation of people not being able to say "Deus Ex" properly.

I loved the first too much to blow it off 100%
"Well, Bioshock used plasmids, so we can't use any sort of augmentations. We're gonna go make an open-ended First Person RPG IN TEH FUTURE!one! It'll be just like Oblivion...but IN THE FUTURE!"
i am right?
It didn't turn out too well, either.
First game was awesome. Second game... I remember it existing and me playing it at some point, and that's about it.
i hope this doesn't blow.
I will still give it a shot
They just said they passed proof-of-concept, which is one of the earliest stages of getting the balls rolling on a game. She may have been right at the time she mentioned it.
I'm going to call it Dew Sex.
Hopefully this situation will turn out better...
its easy!
Also, Warren Spector was still involved with Invisible War, he just didn't lead the project, Harvey Smith did instead. In case you don't know, Harvey Smith was the lead designer of the recent Area 51: Black Site, and just left Midway after talking trash about them about the game.
I'm not gonna disparage the game yet. The developers at Eidos Montreal seem to be big fans of the original game.
