For those unfamiliar with Deus Ex, all games are set in the future, on Earth, which has evolved a dystopian cyberpunk society. Various organisations compete for overall control of the planet.

Mankind Divided sees Adam Jensen return, complete with new gadgets and even more body augmentation. You play Adam with the aim of bringing an end to a rise in terrorist attacks.

The game is played from a first-person perspective, with third-person views when taking cover. It uses the new Dawn Engine, which is based on the Glacier 2 game engine used in Hitman: Absolution.
