New details about Deus Ex 3 have been revealed in a preview article written on the Czech website Hratelne.cz. According to translations found on the Eidos forums, the game will feature protagonist Adam Jensen and is set in a world where cybernetics companies hold more sway than world governments. Those who can afford them purchase cybernetic implants to gain an edge in society, which breeds unrest among the poorer, non-augmented populace.

One new feature mentioned is squad AI for groups of enemies. Such squads will have an identifiable leader guiding them and will adjust to player actions, such as changing weapons. Take out the leader and a squad’s tactical abilities are reduced. Boss battles will evidently also be affected by players’ previous actions, though no specifics are given as to how that works. The article also notes that the dialogue system depends on a player’s ability to read facial expressions and body language, the proper judgment of which will help to reveal the best response.

The first screens and info from Deus Ex 3 have been released. It is under development at the new Eidos Montreal studios.

The game takes place in the year 2027 and the main character Adam Jensen is a security guard at a biotech company called Sarif. One day the offices are stormed by men in black and almost everyone is killed… almost. Jensen survives and makes it his business to find out what has been going on.

We will have to wait until 2010 before Deus Ex 3 is released. It will be interesting to see if it can live up to the original after the sequel failed to set the world on fire.
