While voice actor Elias Toufexis has confirmed that he is working on a number of different projects, most of which he can’t reveal due to non-disclosure agreements, he has also revealed that none of these projects are related to the Deus Ex franchise. On social media, Toufexis—known for having voiced Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Mankind Divided protagonist Adam Jensen—said that the lack of any Deus Ex project is because the people who own the IP “are psychopaths.”
“…no Deus Ex because the people in charge are psychopaths,” Toufexis wrote when asked if any of the projects he was working on was related to the seminal immersive sim franchise. He did, however, confirm that he is working with Bungie on Marathon.
The last time a follow-up to Deus Ex: Mankind Divided came up was back in January 2024, when a rumour indicated that a title was under development for two years before ultimately being cancelled. According to the report, the game was being developed by Eidos Montreal, which had also made Human Revolution and Mankind Divided. It is also worth noting that whether the cancelled title was a sequel to Mankind Divided, a reboot or a remake is unknown.
April 2025 also saw some rumours surrounding the franchise pop up again, this time around noting that Eidos Montreal was “actively pitching” a new game in the franchise to “external partners and publishers.” These pitches didn’t see much success, unfortunately, with the project being noted as being “too niche” and not worth the financial risk.
While Adam Jensen’s story has largely been left abandoned after the 2016 release of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, the original Deus Ex is slated to make a comeback in the form of a remastered release by Aspyr Media. Originally planned for release in February, Deus Ex Remastered has since been delayed, with Aspyr noting that the decision was made to “better meet fan expectations and deliver the best possible experience for players.”
Deus Ex is a series of cyberpunk immersive sims that have players take on the control of JC Denton in the 2000 original, Alex Denton in 2003’s Deus Ex: Invisible War, and Adam Jensen in 2011’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution and 2016’s Mankind Divided. The titles depict a world decades in the future that has been ravaged by a number of issues, from war and disease to income disparity, all in a world where body and mind augmentations have become commonplace enough that you can see people from all walks of life using them.
The main stories of the Deus Ex titles often involve the protagonist taking on what starts off as a relatively simple mission, but then quickly evolves into something much larger with several layers of conspiracies being involved in just about every aspect. The original Deus Ex was widely praised for the level of freedom it allowed players in how they could tackle missions, while both Human Revolution and Mankind Divided saw acclaim thanks to their efforts at worldbuilding as well as their stories and characters.
