Deus Ex dev\u2019s job listing hints at South Asia setting for possible sequel Eidos-MontrealA new job listing for Eidos-Montr\u00e9al indicates the studio\u2019s next project could be a Deus Ex sequel set in South Asia. Deus Ex debuted in 2000 as a groundbreaking immersive sim whose follow-up couldn\u2019t quite measure up. Eidos-Montr\u00e9al revived the brand some years later, however, introducing an award-winning prequel story that amplified the cyberpunk and transhumanism themes. A fourth Deus Ex entry \u2013 Mankind Divided \u2013 has hit stores since then, ending on a cliffhanger that long seemed as though it wouldn\u2019t be resolved. Eidos\u2019 acquisition from Square Enix by Embracer Group sparked hope for longtime fans. And those hopes may yet shine a bit brighter. Job listing seems to tease South Asia-set Deus Ex sequel Developer Eidos-Montr\u00e9al recently uploaded a LinkedIn job posting for Junior Games Writer. It\u2019s a fairly standard write-up, but two bullet points in the \u201cEven better if you have\u201d section are worth consideration. One such bullet point mentions the studio\u2019s interest in applicants who have an \u201cAcademic background in South Asian Studies and\/or equivalent cultural knowledge.\u201d Another reads, \u201cBackground in Science and\/or Technology.\u201d When considering Eidos\u2019 portfolio, the science and technology bullet point would most notably apply to the Deus Ex series. And the brand\u2019s globe-trotting adventures in NYC, Singapore, and Prague mean a new entry set in South Asia would fit the mold. Of course, this is little more than speculation for the time being. While many hope Eidos is working on another Adam Jensen-starring Deus Ex sequel, there\u2019s no concrete information to confirm as much. The studio has taken the reins on a couple of other noteworthy franchises since the last Deus Ex title launched in 2016. It led production on 2018\u2019s Shadow of the Tomb Raider, then developed the underrated Marvel\u2019s Guardians of the Galaxy. Eidos has yet to formally unveil its current work-in-progress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
