Deus Ex sequence on maintain after Mankind Divided’s underwhelming gross sales

Deus Ex: Human Revolution’s poor gross sales means the franchise is taking a break.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided launched final yr and was greeted with favourable reviews, however the gross sales numbers instructed a unique story.

Despite debuting at no.1 in its first week, the title didn’t do practically in addition to its predecessor Human Revolution and this has had predictable penalties.

Eurogamer experiences that the sequence has been “placed on hiatus” because of this.

Square Enix has the new Marvel project to work on and a potential upcoming Tomb Raider title that they’re beavering away on, so focusing efforts on Deus Ex might not be worthwhile for some time.

In a press release issued to Eurogamer they mentioned, “While we are still working on expanding the Deus Ex Universe, along with creating new content and updates for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, we’re also devoting our talents towards working with Crystal Dynamics and Marvel on The Avengers project.”
