Bad news for Deus Ex fans.

In order to provide a quality experience to gaming fans, Eidos Montreal made the tough decision to move Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’s release from February 2016 to August 23rd 2016.

Our aim is for it to be a worthy successor to Human Revolution, and to improve upon that game in every way possible. I know that expectations are extremely high, and we not only want to meet those expectations, but exceed them.” said David Anfossi; Eidos-Montreal Head of Studio.

And with most summers being known as gaming drought for a lot of gamers, it’d give the game all the freedom to rule the world; so to speak.
