Eidos Montreal has said at GDC that Deus Ex 3 is solely a single-player affair, remaining true to the Deus Ex legacy.
“No, Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a single-player game only,” game director Jean-Francois Dugas told IGN. “Being the first project out of the new Eidos Montréal studio, and staying true to the Deus Ex legacy, the development team wanted to focus purely on the single-player experience to ensure we delivered on that front.”
Francois-Dugas also promises an experience similar to that of the first Deus Ex.
“Deus Ex: Human Revolution uses the first Deus Ex game, which perfectly married the first-person shooter and roleplaying game, as its reference point, so you can expect an experience similar to it,” he said.
“The goal is to deliver the perfect mix of both genres, giving players the option of choosing to play the game depending on their preferred play style. The game is built around a multi-path, multi-solution approach so you often have more than one way to pass an obstacle, and within that you have tonnes of options for character and weapon customization.”
Just this morning, publisher Square Enix released a new teaser trailer of the game while confirming platforms for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
