Extensive restructuring Hug group recently landed on Eidos Montreal. Swedish video game and media production group after approximately two years of development. new Deus Ex canceled. At the same time, there were unspecified layoffs at the Canadian studio. Those remaining on the team will focus on the original franchise, Bloomberg sources said. This was unofficially talked about last year in connection with an advertisement that mentioned co-op, leveling, upgrading, crafting and Unreal engine 5.
So it looks like this project has taken priority over the new Deus Ex. We can only speculate as to why Embracer seems more promising. Perhaps he is less demanding financially. In any case, Embracer has previously warned that it will cancel projects that have not yet been announced. But no one thought that the scythe would fall on Deus Ex. This is the last major work of Deus Ex. Humanity is divided since 2016 and Eidos Montreal has no peace even under the new owner. When it looked like they would improve, unlike Square Enix.
Embracer Group announced a major restructuring last year after failing to close a $2 billion deal with Saudi Arabia’s Savvy Games Group. In 2023, the company laid off more than 900 people worldwide and closed the Volition (Saints Row) and Free Radical Design (TimeSplitters) studios. For example, Crystal Dynamics (Tomb Raider), New World Interactive, 3D Realms, Slipgate Ironworks or the German studio Fishlabs were released. The vast majority of employees at Lost Boys Interactive, a division of Gearbox Entertainment involved in the creation of Gearbox Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands and Blizzard’s Diablo 4, were laid off this year.
Uncertainty reigns again around the German studio Piranha Bytes. The authors of the Gothic, Risen and Elex series confirmed the struggle for survival. Apparently they are looking for a new partner to finance them.
