Deus Ex: Human Defiance, a film based on Eidos Montreal’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution, is still in the works according to director Scott Derrickson.

Speaking to IGN in a recent interview (transcribed by Polygon), Derrickson called the script “tricky” but assured everyone that it’s “still alive”.

“The script that we wrote was clearly based on the Human Revolution game. We worked hard with the game company to get aspects of the game that we knew would be important to fans of the game and the world and all of that.

“The upcoming game, the progression of games, there’s a little bit that filtered into the script, but not a lot.”

Nonetheless, Derrickson finds protagonist Adam Jensen interesting enough to continue pushing for the project. Eidos Montreal in the meantime is prepping Deus Ex: Universe, the next series of games likely to released for PS4, Xbox One and PC. Stay tuned for more details.

A new trademark has been filed by Square Enix calledDues Ex: Human Defiance. Now, it’s not clear whether this is a sequel or not, but it definitely looks like it.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution created by Eidos really brought the fans back to the franchise after the terrible bomb of Invisible War. It still does not match the original game in my opinion, but they did a fantastic job and it’s about time we get a new game in the series.

The trademark was filed recently and can be found here. Could Square Enix announce this game for the next gen platforms? That remains to be seen however, fans of the previous game should be excited for this, since this hints at the return of Adam Jenson, who was full of win in Human Revolution.

Meanwhile you can check out our review of Adam Jenson’s adventures which lavishes a lot of praise on the game.
