Embracer Group宣佈將關閉Onoma工作室,彭博社的知名業界人士Jason Schreier在他的報告中也透露了Eidos 蒙特利爾正在開發的項目的細節。
在報告中稱,作為削減成本計劃的一部分,在關閉Onoma工作室的同時,Embracer還喊停了Eidos的一款未公佈的遊戲《怪奇物語》。
Eidos 蒙特利爾目前正在製作的遊戲中有一款是新IP,他表示最近由於上述成本削減計劃的一部分,其範圍有所縮小,除此之外一款新的《殺出重圍》據稱也處於開發階段,Eidos還與微軟合作開發了多款即將發行的第一方Xbox遊戲,其中包含與Playground Games合作的《神鬼寓言》。
Today's announcement of the closure of Studio Onoma came as a real surprise—the name was only given to the studio formerly known as Square Enix Montreal a few weeks ago. But amidst that unfortunate news was a very faint, distant spot of light for Deus Ex fans: According to Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, work on a new game in the Deus Ex series (opens in new tab) has begun. Deus Ex developer Eidos Montreal, which Embracer acquired in August (opens in new tab), is still intact, according to the report, and some employees of Onoma will be transferred there. A "Stranger Things-inspired" game that was reportedly in development at Eidos has been cancelled, but the studio is now working on a "recently rescoped" new property, is partnering with Xbox on games including the new Fable, and has a new Deus Ex game "very very early" in development. The report comes a few months after Giant Bomb's Jeff Grubb (via GamesRadar (opens in new tab)) said Eidos Montreal "wants to immediately get back into Deus Ex." That didn't seem likely to happen under Square Enix, which has kept the series on ice since Deus Ex: Mankind Divided in 2016 and ultimately offloaded it to Embracer Group, along with Tomb Raider and the studios that make them, for what struck me as a fire sale price (opens in new tab). But Embracer has expressed interest in carrying on with the series (opens in new tab), and it also seems somewhat more consequential since Eidos Montreal made a point of announcing (opens in new tab) in September that it "is now the owner of the games it developed," including Deus Ex and Thief, which had been owned by Square Enix prior to the Embracer acquisition. One person who apparently does not have an inside scoop on the situation is actor Elias Toufexis, who voiced lead character Adam Jensen in Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Mankind Divided. Somewhat ironically, given what is undoubtedly the most famous line uttered by Jensen in the games, Toufexis would like fans to stop asking him about this. "I’m glad they are (seemingly?) working on a new DeusEx," he tweeted. "Please stop asking me because I don’t know anything about it or if Adam Jensen is even going to be a part of it. I love the series and I hope to play Jensen again. I have zero info!" I’m glad they are (seemingly?) working on a new #DeusEx. Please stop asking me because I don’t know anything about it or if Adam Jensen is even going to be a part of it. I love the series and I hope to play Jensen again. I have zero info! https://t.co/CRaoRjJkzgNovember 1, 2022 Toufexis clarified in a followup tweet that he doesn't dislike the attention that follows every new mention of Deus Ex or Adam Jensen, "I just wish I had some answers." As a long-suffering Deus Ex fan myself, I wish he had answers too—as long as at least one of those answers is, "Yes, they are definitely making a new Deus Ex," that is. I've reached out to Eidos to ask if it's really happening, and will update if I receive a reply. This was such a good teaser.
