Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Deus Ex: Human Revolution will be the third game in the first-person shooter/role-playing video game series, Deus Ex. Its main protagonist will be Adam Jensen.

Plot
Little has been said about the plot, but what has been revealed that the game begins as a team of Black-op commandos break into Jensen's company headquarters and cause a mass slaughter using security plans Jensen created. As the plot progresses, Jensen uncovers a conspiracy and is forced to augment himself to survive.

Setting
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is set 25 years before Deus Ex, and nanoaugmentation has yet to be invented. Mechanical augmentation is the current state-of-the-art technology. The world is designed to be a fusion of cyberpunk with a Renaissance twist. However, the Renaissance theme will be subtle, and will not overshadow the near-future setting. Unlike the first Deus Ex, parts of the game will take place during the day, but the general theme will be brooding and dark. Sociology is looked at within the game. There is a trans-human movement, and those who see it nothing but "playing God." Elements similiar to racism in 1950s/1960s America will be seen in the game.

Development
It was announced on May 17, 2007, by IGN in an interview with Patrick Melchior, the director of Eidos France, on the French-Canadian television station, MusiquePlus. Neither Warren Spector nor Harvey Smith, who were the main creative directors behind the first two games, are attached to the project.

Further confirming the game's development, Eidos Montreal's general manager Stéphane D’Astous reported that they have received a "huge mandate" to focus on the creation of Deus Ex 3. In the same report, D’Astous expounded upon the development philosophy being implemented at the new studio. The philosophy focuses on smaller teams with multi-discipline employees. While embraced by the designers, this philosophy means that Deus Ex 3 is scheduled to develop for at least 18 months, if not 24 or more, which puts the earliest release date in the middle of 2009. The last bit of information D'Astous divulged was that Deus Ex 3 had just passed proof of concept, as of late November 2007.

Two teaser trailers have so far been released.
