This morning, Square Enix released a new trailer for Eidos Montreal’s upcoming shooter/RPG hybrid, Deus Ex: Human Revolution. The trailer doesn’t show any actual gameplay, but it does give us a little background info on what’s going on in the story.
The year is 2027, and society is in the midst of an exciting technological revolution. Human augmentation is at the forefront, but not everyone agrees with this radical innovation. Protesters can be seen rioting outside of Seraph Industries, one of the leaders in augmentation. In this future, corporations have more power than the government, and conspiracy theories run rampant as security forces struggle to keep the social unrest under control. This is where Deus Ex: Human Revolution‘s story begins. As Adam Jensen, an enigmatic victim of modern technology and science, it’s up to you to decide who to help and who to fight.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is the third game in the Deus Ex series. Thus far, the developers have said that it will follow in the footsteps of the original Deus Ex, which relied heavily on dialogue and gameplay choices – similar to Mass Effect. Many missions also had multiple paths through them, some of which required combat, others that allowed for stealth or hacking elements.
The trailer can be found below.
