Deus Ex Fans in Shock: Embracer Group Halts Series for Budget Cuts
What might the future hold for the Deus Ex franchise?
As reported by Bloomberg, Embracer Group AB has canceled their upcoming Deus Ex game as part of a restructuring plan that includes laying off several employees to cut costs.
The shock news comes less than two years after the Embracer Group acquired Eidos Montreal, the studio behind Deus EX and Thief, in 2022 in a $300 million deal. Bloomberg reports the Deus Ex game was in development for two years, possibly before Embracer acquired the IP from Square Enix, and was reported to be expected to enter full production later this year.
It’s a big blow to the Deus Ex fans who were hoping for a new entry in the sci-fi RPG series that’s sold over 14 million copies worldwide. But its a further blow to the gaming industry as a whole as more jobs are lost, with Embracer themselves having only laid off more than 900 employees last year across various studios. The recent layoffs amount to 97 employees, which has killed the game in development and ensured a much longer delay for a Deus Ex game, if one comes at all.

Responding to Embracer Group’s decision, Eidos Montreal reiterated its commitment to “making the best games for our amazing fans.” It said that even through the restructuring change, it will continue to fight to deliver “awesome experiences.”
We can only speculate what it all means for the future of the Deus EX and Tomb Raider franchises. All we can do is hope the restructuring doesn’t mean more lost jobs in the near future and Eidos Montreal and other companies can get back to doing what they do best – making great games.
