As promised, Square Enix revealed Deus Ex: The Fall today. Unlike many of you hoped for, the game isn’t coming to next-generation consoles but to mobile devices.
It’s story-driven action RPG and sequel to Human Revolution’s prequel novel, Deus Ex: Icarus Effect.
You’ll play as Ben Saxon, ex-SAS soldier and you’ll have to face some new characters in the story.
It’s releasing on mobile devices only to ‘wake up’ the mobile market.
The official statement:
“This isn’t about tablets vs next gen,” . “We’re a big publisher, so you know we’ll be showing next gen gaming at E3 next week. We’re as serious about next gen as we are about tablet gaming. As a publisher, we believe all platforms present opportunities and if you create the right content, we believe we can have success.”
“I don’t think many companies understand what you can do with these platforms,” he said. “We’re trying to showcase what the platform can do by building a game from the ground up.”
Deus Ex: The Fall will be released this summer for $6.99/£4.99/€5.99, and will be shown during E3 next week.
