SANTA MONICA, Calif.—At a recent press event, Square Enix reps tried to set the tone for the future of the stealthy Deus Ex games with a flashy, live-action video. The next game’s story was foreshadowed in a film called “The Mechanical Apartheid,” anchored by the story of a husband and wife divided by a very Deus Ex kind of conflict: a forced quarantine for any “Augs” who have received cybernetic enhancements. Robotic wife and “natural” husband forcibly separated? Nooo!

But that polished, dramatic video didn’t leave the most lasting impression. Instead, that honor went to a giant table graphic with icons representing all of the games and “fiction” entries we can expect in the future. The stories will be spearheaded by this August’s Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, but Square Enix also teased two attached projects launching this year and two more “AAA games” in a future timeline, currently blurred out.

Square Enix wasn’t ready to reveal its years-down-the-line hand, but ahead of E3, the company did produce quite the three-of-a-kind: the new, big-ticket game; an arcade-styled stealth shooter; and the first official Deus Ex games for touchscreen devices. Best of all, the entire trio is set to launch by the end of this summer.
