Eidos Interactive today announces that Deus Ex2: Invisible War is currently in development for the Xbox game console, PC and PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system. This sequel to Deus Ex, the multi-award-winning first-person action/adventure, is being developed by Ion Storm, creators of the original game, and is slated to arrive in stores in 2003.
"Deus Ex is widely regarded as one of the greatest games ever," said Mike McGarvey, CEO of Eidos. "We are supremely confident that Warren and his team at Ion Storm will yet again set the standard by which other games are judged."
"The goal of a game like DX2 is to offer players free-form gameplay experiences where they control their virtual destinies," says Warren Spector, Executive Producer of DX2. "We’re going to provide the great storyline and rich, varied, player-controlled experience expected of a Deus Ex game, but this time we’re pushing the bar even higher in terms of graphics, AI, physics, sound and accessibility. DX2 Project Director, Harvey Smith and his team want to take immersive simulations as far beyond Deus Ex as Deus Ex was beyond its predecessors. Gamers have a lot to look forward to."
Like in the original Deus Ex, in Dues Ex 2 players will have a possibility to create and modify, in a unique RPG fashion, an alter ego, selecting different bio-tech modification, powerful weapons and hundreds of different object. And like in the original Deus Ex, your choices will change the story and also the way to play the game; the player is given complete freedom in any situation. You can hack computers, break doors, fight or move in the shadows, talk to other characters and much more.
Deus Ex 2 features a more powerful physics system, startlingly believable AI, enhanced character modeling and animation, a new sound propagation system and enhanced lighting and graphics which should create "a real-world experience unprecedented in gaming".
