We haven’t heard from Deus Ex in some time, but now that Square-Enix has acquired Eidos, maybe they’re putting the pedal to the metal for Deus Ex 3.

Or perhaps the new installment will be called "Deus Ex: Human Revolution," a title that has just been trademarked by Square-Enix in Europe. We’re assuming this is the new project; S-E is producing the cinematics for the game and will publish it as well, and hopefully, more information will come down the pike soon. Originally, Deus Ex 3 was only announced for the PC but we’re hoping it will be confirmed for consoles as well; the franchise did arrive on the Xbox and PS2 last generation in the form of Deus Ex: The Conspiracy and Deus Ex: Invisible War. This is a series that really needs to make its impact felt in this generation, and most who enjoy the blend of FPS and RPG mechanics will certainly agree. Actually, if you’ve never played any Deus Ex, you might compare it to Bioshock; both games have the depth and accomplished storylines of a role-playing adventure with the fluid, seamless first-person controls of a shooter. We can always use more titles like these, right?

From Gamasutra:

A court has approved Square Enix’s takeover of U.K.-headquartered Tomb Raider house Eidos, according to an announcement today by Eidos’ board of directors.

Square Enix hopes that the acquisition of a major Western game publisher will give the Tokyo, Japan-based firm a greater foothold in Europe and North America.

The takeover is on track to become effective on April 22, when Eidos franchises such as Tomb Raider and Deus Ex will come under the same roof as Square Enix’s revered Final Fantasy series and other properties.

As the opening keynote for the fifth Montreal International Game Summit, celebrated game designer Warren Spector (Deus Ex) had to live up to his own legacy.
Origin and Looking Glass veteran Spector, whose Junction Point development studio is now owned by Disney, recalled a pessimistic talk he gave at the summit in 2005, “Gaming in the Margins,” where he discussed industry challenges, from new hardware to increased media scrutiny — and turned out to be “pretty much wrong about everything.”

From play.tm:

“Eidos Montreal may have already confirmed they are working on Deus Ex 3, but there’s been a lot of conjecture surrounding the studio’s second project – which has been rumoured in the past to be Thief
4.

A job ad for the studio earlier this year hinted at the identity of the new project, stating: “Eidos-Montreal is proud to announce the recruitment for our 2nd “AAA” project… A hint! The title begins with the letter ‘T’”.”
