Deus Ex (series)

Deus Ex is a series of first person role-playing games originally produced by Ion Storm and published by Eidos Interactive. Eidos Interactive was bought by Square Enix in 2009, with Square Enix subsequently becoming the owner of the Deus Ex franchise. After the closure of Ion Storm, the task of reviving the franchise was given to the Eidos Montréal studio. Since 2013, the name Deus Ex Universe has been used to refer to the interconnected games and print media in the Deus Ex franchise.

Being set in a dystopian near future, the universe, stories, and artwork of the series are heavily influenced by the cyberpunk genre. The series is inspired by films such as Blade Runner and RoboCop as well as numerous other cyberpunk works of fiction.

There are four full-length game titles in the series: Deus Ex, Deus Ex: Invisible War, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, which is the latest game of the series. A spin-off game Deus Ex: The Fall was originally released for iOS and Android mobile platforms and later ported to PC. There are also books and comics set in the Deus Ex series, including: Deus Ex: Icarus Effect, Deus Ex: Fallen Angel, and the Deus Ex: Human Revolution comics. In 2016, a tie-in novel Deus Ex: Black Light was added to the series, as well as the mobile game Deus Ex GO and the comic series Deus Ex Universe: Children's Crusade which serves as a prequel to the events of Mankind Divided.
