Jean-Francois Dugas, director of the much awaited new prequel to the Deus Ex franchise has told Gamasutra that Deus Ex: Human Revolution will, in a sense, be a reboot of the franchise.
Eidos Montreal are the developers working on the revival of this fan favorite franchise, and Dugas explains that there's more "new" to it than just a new developer.
"Obviously, we see it as a reboot of the franchise, we see it kind of a new game, with a new character, a new story, and all that, set in the same universe with the timeline of Deus Ex," he explains.
"But we really wanted to bring that great experience that Deus Ex was ten years ago to a new generation of gamers who might not know it at all, and I think that’s what we’re doing."
"We’re trying to come back with the choice and consequence, the different gameplay pillars that allow players to play with a different style; they want to be Rambo, they want to be the sneaky agent, or they want to be the tech guy — this is what we’re doing."
The game is set 25 years before the original and lets you take the role of Adam Jensen, a security guard who gets augmented as a result of an attack at his workplace.
