Another high-profile video game has apparently been axed amid mass layoffs and restructuring efforts at parent company Embracer Group.
Citing insider sources, Bloomberg reports the Swedish holding conglomerate has canceled an unannounced Deus Ex title that had been in development at Eidos Montreal for two years. The cyberpunk action-RPG franchise has sat dormant since 2016’s Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
Embracer and Eidos did not directly address the reported scrapped project. However Eidos confirmed its studio sadly let go 97 employees across various teams in development, support services and administration.
