Next-gen Deus Ex in the works

Eidos Montreal has confirmed that a next-generation Deus Ex game is in development.

The title is on its way to the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC but a release date hasn't yet been mentioned.

The new Deus Ex will form part of a series of videogames, books, graphic novels and other experiences connected together through something called Deus Ex: Universe.

"The concept behind Deus Ex: Universe is to create an ongoing, expanding and connected game world built across a generation of core games," said Eidos Montreal's David Anfossi.

"It's a commitment on our part to deliver meaningful content that expands the franchise on a regular basis and to deliver a deep conspiracy that will span several connected Deus Ex games, creating a more immersive and richer experience than ever before.

Most of the team behind Deus Ex: Human Revolution is working on the new game.

"For now, I hope you are excited about the future of this game that we love so much," added Anfossi.

"Deus Ex is coming to next-gen, it's early so don't expect to hear much more from us just yet, but I wanted you to know."
