Eidos Montreal to develop new Deus Ex

By Heri May 19th 2007 in video games

Note: I had lots to do this week and could not update. Sorry for that. I read about Eidos last week but haven’t had time to write about it.

Patrick Melchior, director of Eidos, said on MusiquePlus that Eidos Montreal’s first project will be a new Deus Ex.

Deus Ex was an innovative science-fiction game that mixed genres. It received universal acclaim and won many “Game of the Year” awards, and ranked as a best-seller among role playing games.

I have been very critical of Eidos Montreal but this may be the golden opportunity for the brand new Montreal studio. By the way, Eidos Montreal received about 700 job candidates for the 350 positions that were avalaible, which means there is not going to be a lack of talent in Montreal soon.
