A new Deus Ex game is reportedly in “very very early” stages of development. As per Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, studio Eidos-Montréal is currently working on a new Deus Ex title, alongside a distinct IP. The news comes in the wake of Embracer Group shutting down Onoma — formerly Square Enix Montréal — which it purchased as part of a $300 million (about Rs. 2,482 crore), earlier this year. The shake-up occurred merely three weeks after the Hitman GO developer was rebranded to “Onoma.”

According to Stranger Things — it has now been cancelled.

Eidos Montreal, which remains intact, canceled the Stranger Things-inspired "kids on bikes" game that was rumored recently. They're now working on:
1) A new IP (recently rescoped)
2) A new Deus Ex (very very early)
3) co-dev partnerships with Xbox including Fable

Elsewhere, voice actor Elias Toufexis, who gave life to the lead character Adam Jensen in Dues Ex: Mankind Divided, expressed enthusiasm to play the role again. However, he claims to know nothing about the project, and requested fans to stop asking him about it. “I'm glad they are (seemingly?) working on a new #DeusEx,” he says in the tweet. “I love the series and I hope to play Jensen again. I have zero info!”

Onoma aka Cyberpunk 2077 couldn't, and stuff like that,” he explained. “It's so early, like what that will turn into.”

Sweden-based Embracer has been on a shopping spree, even purchasing IP rights from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake — changing hands from Aspyr Media to Saber Interactive's Eastern European studio.

Lucasfilms' standards. In response, the companies abruptly fired director Brad Prince and art director Jason Minor, putting any further development on pause.

Further details on the new Deus Ex instalment should be revealed in time, though we can very well expect it to launch across Xbox Series S/X.
