Almost 20 years ago, Ion Storm set the world on fire with the release of the original Deus Ex. Headed by Warren Spector, the game was an incredible combination of first-person mechanics, science fiction world-building and player freedom tha...

It's been almost a year since Square Enix CEO Yosuke Matsuda said that while they were putting the Deus Ex series on the back-burner for a while, the series wasn't dead and simply had to "wait its turn." Well, wait we have and now our patie...

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, the most recent entry in the series, didn't set the world on fire. 2011's Human Revolution revitalized Deus Ex and designated it as a still-valuable property for Square Enix. Mankind Divided felt lik...

So, Square Enix just landed a coveted multi-game Marvel deal, something that would make a lot of big publishers foam at the mouth. The thing is Square Enix might be big, but it's not that big, especially in terms of its western develop...

While the main attraction in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided was Adam Jensen's fight against the Illuminati for the rights of augmented people (or something like that), it's not the only part of the game. There's also a sideshow called "Breac...

Adam Jensen's about to have a very bad day. He has to go to undercover at a high-security prison for augmented people, and prison seems like a terrible place to go. But, that prison is in Arizona, and a prison in Arizona seems like an espec...

Pre-order culture may be out of hand, but at least some developers are starting to learn. Square Enix is now offering all of the pre-order DLC for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided for free on each platform. This includes character skins, a bonus "m...

Carrie Fisher, who sadly passed away this week, was mostly known for her iconic role in the Star Wars series as Princess Leia. Thing is, she rarely provided voice-over work to any games, including those based on Star Wars. It was a big deal...

While I'm no fan of the recently released PS4 Pro, the idea of having 1080p games run at a consistent 60 frames per second is very enticing. I'd love to experience Bloodborne with better performance (if it ever gets a patch) or have any poo...

The delay did Deus Ex: Mankind Divided good in more ways than one. Its release went off mostly without a hitch, and now Square Enix intends on adding on top of all of that with some fixes, new content, and graphical updates. With its f...

Adam Jensen and Randy Orton have a lot in common. They're both apex predators who lie in wait, ready to seize the opportune moment to strike. Well, Orton bangs his fist on the mat which is actually particularly un-stealthy, but that's besid...

Adam Jensen loyalists will now find a familiar face in Prague. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided's first story DLC, System Rift, is focused on a character from 2011's Human Revolution. System Rift released today and it reintroduces Francis Pri...

Square Enix has shared some information about the first Deus Ex: Mankind Divided story add-on. Titled "System Rift," the DLC pack will see the return of Frank Pritchard and will have him team up with Adam Jensen to hack into the Santea...

On paper, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided's Adam Jensen seems like the ultimate video game protagonist. He has the voice of a dedicated smoker, all gravelly tones and foggy inflections. His chin is so pointed that it might be more deadly than the ...

The Deus Ex series is often lauded for its conspiracy-laden plot and the wealth of options to approach its game play, and rightfully so, but it also deserves praise for an oft-overlooked aspect: its fantastic world-design. Some of the best ...

While it has already been fairly common knowledge that Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’s Breach mode would contain purchasable Booster Packs, the extent in which microtransactions have permeated throughout the overall game was somewhat of an...

The official Deus Ex Twitter account has posted the times that you'll be able to unlock your pre-load for Mankind Divided. It sucks to be in Europe (the game is basically launching a day later). After waiting through the long download...

I’ve never really been a fan of “mystery box”-styled Season Passes. They take the concept of dropping down money sight-unseen on content that isn’t out yet and add an extra layer of risk, as there’s no certaint...

You know what's an awful thing no one should ever do, because of how wrong it is and how bad it makes you look? Jumping on controversy [~600 comments! -Ed.] for the simple reason of gaining popularity and notice. I wouldn't do tha...

Preloading for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided fires up at 9:00am Pacific on Friday, August 19. If you want to pick up a copy in time for both the preload and those pre-order bonuses, two digital retailers are danging the pre-order disco...

Square Enix Montréal has a damn good track record thus far. Hitman GO, Pokémon GO, and Lara Croft GO all received high marks from us and raised the bar for what mobile puzzlers can look and play like. The team's next proj...

If you're going to be playing Deus Ex: Mankind Divided on a souped-up PC when it launches August 23, I have some bad news for you. On Steam, The Deus Ex team has announced that DX12 will not be ready in time for launch. Last minut...

Summer 2016 has been a dead zone for new Triple-A releases, and for the most part discounts on fall releases have not been as strong as previous years. This week things change a bit for next week's August 23 release of Deus Ex: Mankind...

For subject material focusing on new technologies and enhancement, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided doesn't require anything too extraordinary of your PC to be able to actually play the game. Maybe there's some thematic dissonance there, but w...

The coincidentally upcoming Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has accidentally ginned up some controversy in releasing promotional art that features a banner that reads "aug lives matter," which, according to Deus Ex executive brand director Andre V...
