Concerning the 'Universe' - is this supposed to be a revelation? - modern day game developers fully flood every facet of entertainment with their product, assuming that it has a rich enough story. Look at EA/Bioware and their title Mass Effect - 3 games, 4 books, 3+ comic series, and maybe a movie. With Square Enix's acquisition of such a well known franchise as Deus Ex, did anyone really think they'd leave it to only one game? - of course not; there's already another 'game' (the Fall), a comic series, and a book. This big announcement is just a promise that they'll continue their Deus Ex binge, as any 'good company' would anyways...which is fine by me, as long as they don't seemingly unknowingly ruin their product in the process, as many others have done before. My one hope is that this is mostly a commitment in keeping tabs on consistency (looking at ME; 4th book, 'thermal clips', etc. ), as it may be particularly hard to keep it all in-line (see below).

Concerning the new game - it worries me. First, they made a really great game that unfortunately had to be a prequel, so while they had plenty of fun creating this wonderful point in time, they had to figure out a way to remove most all advancement by the end for the sake of continuity in relation to the original game - and as it's arguable how well they did, one wonders how well the 'Universe' will pan out. Then, they made another game called 'the Fall' that, as far as I can tell, is a copy/paste of HR with a few pronouns changed - supposedly nothing unique, and nothing original, somewhat understandable as it was meant for a different medium, but will this new game just feature more of the same? So now, they likely have to fit another game in what has become the very tight space that they left themselves, trying to create something that is similar enough to both games to be connected, but unique enough for some unexpected original content to shine through, while maintaining the story that we all care so much about. Sounds almost impossible...but I'm hopeful.

Afterthought: I wonder why the revealed concept art is titled Golem...?
