Haven't been able to post here for a while, but the mai <3 Deus Ex will be revealed tomorrow, and
GameInformer has the cover reveal.
GAF post which has all the picturesWhat we know:
-Transhumanist apartheid/"class difference" will be the main focal point of the story
-Illuminati/Taggart basically used Darrow's plan against all transhumans, i.e. augmented people went crazy worldwide and transhumanism is now hated by mainstream societies
-Jensen's back
-Previously he was relieved of his agency, but now the story deals with his failures with his agency now that he has it
-Prague is a location, the story will be of a global scale
-DXHR ending is inconsequential to the story
-Malik isn't back [;_;]
-In depth weapon customization
-Stealth elements are back, even greater focus on providing choice to players with level design
-You can launch your hand blades at people
-Gameplay choices will have repercussions inside the game itself, i.e. keeping a random squad of enemies alive can make them show up more prepared later in the game
Rumors:
-It seems that Michael McCann is also back, there is what seems to be a modified version of Icarus in the GI video
-While choices from HR won't be imported here, choices in this game will probably matter in future installments as Mankind Divided is part of an interconnected "Deus Ex Universe"
-Conversation dialogue may be randomized, so people will not be able to look up walkthroughs to get by difficult conversations
Trailer music by based McCannAlso, when I said the ending will be inconsequential, I meant the ending
choice will be inconsequential. Obviously the end of HR has significant repercussions for where Adam starts off in MD.
GAF post with GI details.-Side quests meant to be more meaningful; ex. players can choose to make deals with criminal organizations and its mob boss might call in a favor later interrupting main missions
-Doesn't want fetch quests, the team sees the extra quests as a way to explore the main themes of the game more deeply
