[edit] Development
It was announced on May 17, 2007 by IGN in an interview with Patrick Melchior, the director of Eidos France, on the French-Canadian television station, MusiquePlus.[2] Neither Warren Spector nor Harvey Smith, who were the main creative directors behind the first two games, are attached to the project.[3]
Further confirming the game's development, Eidos Montreal's general manager Stéphane D’Astous reported that they have received a "huge mandate" to focus on the creation of Deus Ex 3.[4] In the same report, D’Astous expounded upon the development philosophy being implemented at the new studio. The philosophy focuses on smaller teams with multi-discipline employees. While embraced by the designers, this philosophy means that Deus Ex 3 is scheduled to develop for at least 18 months, if not 24 or more, which puts the earliest release date in the middle of 2009. The last bit of information D'Astous divulged was that Deus Ex 3 had just passed proof of concept, as of late November 2007.
A teaser trailer was released on November 26, 2007.[5]
It has been confirmed that the game will be developed using the Crystal Dynamics Engine, which was originally used for the games Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend and Project: Snowblind; the latter intended as a "tactical" version of the original Deus Ex initially titled Deus Ex: Clan Wars.[6][7]
[edit] Setting
The game is hinted at being a prequel to Deus Ex, which takes place in 2052,[8] as a ballot box marked "Biopolitic 2027" subliminally appeared in the trailer (though this date has been blanked out in the high-definition version of the trailer).[9] However, PC Gamer UK suggested that the reason for the removal of the 2027 date was because the game was not to take place in this year. When considering the images of an embryo (speculated as the embryo of the player), the magazine suggested that Deus Ex 3 would be set when this embryo had grown to an adult. This would still allow for the game to be a prequel.[9]
