Elias Toufexis, a voice actor who you may recognize as the voice of Remi Letam from 2025's Hell is Us, but who you're more likely to recognize as the voice of Adam Jensen from Eidos Montreal's Deus Ex games, has a few strong words for those in charge of the immersive-sim franchise.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Toufexis shared four images to tell fans what he's working on in 2026. One of the photos was Marathon, while the other three were simple 'NDA' watermarks, indicating he's got at least four projects on the go and only one he can talk about.
Though if you were hoping one of those NDA'd projects would be a new Deus Ex game, that is unfortunately not the case. Toufexis followed up his initial post with a single-line shot directly at Embracer Group and its decision makers.
"...No Deus Ex because the people in charge are psychopaths," Toufexis wrote.
The last two Deus Ex games, Human Revolution and Mankind Divided, are both excellent immersive-sim, third-person stealth games that were unfortunately never as commercially successful as they were critically. That said, the franchise has a long and important place in gaming history, and it's hard to imagine there's no desire for a new game in the series.
But that doesn't seem to be enough for the people actually making the call on whether to greenlight production on a new Deus Ex game. Embracer Group reportedly shut down the revival project at Eidos Montreal in January 2024. Another report from April 2025 claims that Eidos tried pitching a new Deus Ex game to multiple publishers but got no traction on the idea because they were told the series is too much of a niche.
It seems clear that Eidos Montreal would be more than willing to return to the world of Deus Ex. Besides the fact that the studio was pitching a new entry in the series just last year, it sees the series as an opportunity to "do what Cyberpunk 2077 couldn't."
But since Eidos voiced that goal, the studio has suffered multiple rounds of layoffs and project cancellations, and the latest on what the team is actually working on is a return to Tomb Raider and Lara Croft.
There technically is a Deus Ex game on the way, but it's a remaster of the original that was just delayed indefinitely due to backlash and feedback from its reveal. Still, fans of the franchise can only hope Eidos Montreal finds a path forward for a new adventure in the Deus Ex world.
