Embracer Group cancels Eidos's Deus Ex video game 2 years into development.

The Swedish gaming company Embracer Group AB is canceling a video game in the beloved Deus Ex series after two years of development and will lay off a number of employees as part of an ongoing initiative to cut costs, according to people familiar with the moves.

Eidos, the Montreal, Canada-based studio behind the game, will instead focus on an original franchise. The canceled Deus Ex project, which had not yet been announced, was slated to enter production later this year, said the people, speaking anonymously because they are not authorized to talk to the press.

Following a period of massive expansion during the pandemic, Embracer Group has lately been making widespread layoffs, game cancellations and studio closures.

The sci-fi Deus Ex series has been critically acclaimed and sold more than 14 million units worldwide. It was acquired by Embracer in 2022.

So disappointing. Getting shat on by Square Enix and then Embracer. Pretty chitty all these companies keep consolidating and buying up all these studios only to then start gutting the studio for "cost cutting" measures.

Swear these excecs are retarded as fuk, people are hyped for a new Deus Ex game.

Embracer doesn't make any games apparently, they just bought a bunch of IP's only to do nothing with them.

From what I read they were about to be bought out so they acquired some smaller companies to beef up the sale, then the sale fell through and they got left holding the bag

Yeah, they were trying to bump up their value for a deal with the Saudis, who called it off last minute. Embracer was saddled with all these studios that they had purchased, and being the geniuses they are, decided to shutter all of them and tank the remotest chance of having any remaining value or credibility instead of doing this crazy thing like having thegame companiesthey bought continue tomake games.

Now there's a better chance of other companies waiting around this wounded wildebeest until it's cheap pickings, but in the meantime all of these studios and the IPs will sit rotting away.

Wow I agree with this guy on something... Human revolution and mankind divided are the goat

Only hope for this studio is Microsoft acquiring them, or we will never get Adam Jensen part 3
