Deus Ex

You are seeing me talk… To SBOC

by

This week sees the release of Disney Infinity 3.0, along with a whole bunch of Star Wars themed materials – including the Twilight of the Republic playset, Clone Wars and Rebels figures I worked on as scriptwriter.

Reviews are looking good – the gamer community is liking what we’ve done – and I’ve been able to talk a little bit about the game (and also the other big project I’m working on, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided) with the gang from the SBOC video podcast.

A new DEUS EX novel!

by


The biggest geekathon on the planet took place over the weekend at San Diego Comic Con, and many cool things were revealed there; among them was this:

Also in the works: a new novel written by @jmswallow, which will will be set between the events of Human Revolution and Mankind Divided!

— Deus Ex (@DeusEx) July 11, 2015


And indeed it is so. I’ve been writing for the Deus Ex franchise since 2008, with my work on the Human Revolution videogame, the Icarus Effect novel, The Fall for mobile platforms, the Fallen Angel novella (still available for free right Here) and most recently the forthcoming Mankind Divided game. 

Those are going to be joined by a new full-length novel I’m writing – the working title is Black Light – that will take the character of Adam Jensen from the explosive ending of Human Revolution and into the narrative of Mankind Divided two years later.

Familiar faces will return, new mysteries will be revealed, and more – look for the book next year around the same time as the release for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, and keep an eye on this blog for more details in the coming months…

DEUS EX: MANKIND DIVIDED hits E3!

by

This week is the big E3 videogames trade show over in sunny Los Angeles, and as part of the hype extravaganza, m’colleagues at Eidos Montreal have been showing off new footage from Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, our new game and sequel to 2011’s blockbuster hit Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Rather than waste time with words, I’ll just let the game do the talking with a video dump…


You can also check out the amazing high def power of the Dawn Engine – the tech behind DXMD – in this brief demo showing the Golem City ghetto…


And lastly, here’s producer Jean-Francois Dugas showing off a couple of live play-throughs of the Golem City environment from early in the DXMD story…

To reiterate, I am indeed involved once again in the writing on this blockbuster game, and very proud to be so. I’ve also had a lot of people asking me if I’ll be writing another Deus Ex tie-in novel as I did with Icarus Effect back in 2011 (which, I hasten to add, is still available in all good bookstores in UK, US, Hungarian, Italian and German editions…)

But to answer the question – I can’t confirm anything right now; however, I will say we are in discussions about future fiction ideas under the Deus Ex Universe banner, so stay tuned!

In the meantime, you can click Here to download a free digital ebook of my novella Deus Ex: Fallen Angel directly from Eidos Montreal!

Fallen Angel is a short prequel centred on the popular character of Faridah Malik, who acts as Adam Jensen’s VTOL pilot in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and this story tells how she came to be in the employ of Sarif Industries at the start of DX:HR; the story also ties into the “Shanghai Justice” mission from later in the game.

Embrace What You Have Become – Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is coming..

by

Back in October of 2013, I told the world that I was part of the writing team working on the next installment of the Deus Ex game franchise; and in the year and a half since then, as things have progressed, there hasn’t been much I could officially say.

From today, that starts to change. It gives me great pleasure to show off this awesome reveal trailer for the newest iteration of the Deus Ex Universe – two years have passed since the shattering conclusion of Human Revolution, and Adam Jensen is about to enter the world of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided…

‘Twas the night before the night before Christmas, and all through the capsule hotel, not a creature was stirring, not even a gene-engineered augmented rodent.

Yup, it’s Deus eXmas again, and mes amis over in Quebec at Eidos Montreal are entering the spirit of the holiday season with a gift for all good mech-head boys and panzer girls!

Last year, when Deus Ex: Human Revolution – The Director’s Cut was released, folks who bought the game direct from Eidos got an exclusive pre-order bonus in the form of Fallen Angel, an eBook novelette written by me. Fallen Angel is a short prequel story centred on the popular character of Faridah Malik, and it tells the tale of how she came to be in the employ of Sarif Industries at the start of DX:HR; the story also ties into the “Shanghai Justice” mission from later in the game.

Deus Ex: Fallen Angel is now available for free from Eidos Montreal in pdf format, and you can download a copy Here.

Merry Christmas & Happy Neurojacked Year to y’all!
