Further confirming the game's development, Eidos Montreal's general manager Stéphane D’Astous reported that they have received a "huge mandate" to focus on the creation of "Deus Ex 3".cite news | first= | last= | author= Leigh Alexander| title= Eidos Announces Deus Ex 3, Talks New Montreal Studio| date=2007-11-26 | publisher=Gamasutra | url =http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=16365 | work = | pages = | accessdate = 2007-11-26 | language = ] In the same report, D’Astous expounded upon the development philosophy being implemented at the new studio. The philosophy focuses on smaller teams with multi-discipline employees. While embraced by the designers, this philosophy means that "Deus Ex 3" is scheduled to develop for at least 18 months, if not 24 or more, which puts the earliest release date in the middle of 2009. The last bit of information D'Astous divulged was that "Deus Ex 3" had just passed proof of concept, as of late November 2007.

A teaser trailer was released on November 26, 2007.cite news | first= | last= | author= Brian Crecente

Plot

etting

The year 2027, at least 23 years before "Deus Ex," which was set in the 2050s. Nanotechnology does not exist yet; instead, there are biomechanical augmentations. The main character, Adam Jensen, is a private security officer with a company that specializes in these augmentations. He witnesses a chilling attack on his company, and "the conspiracy begins."

The visuals are a combination of cyberpunk and Renaissance aesthetics, resulting in a futuristic-looking baroque world. [http://www.deusexcentral.com/news/2008/10/0501/] There are hints that the first starting zone will be Shanghai. [http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=198546] The recent PC Zone article also claimed that Detroit would be a featured locale.
