Eidos Montreal has made the slightly surprising revelation that Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will have a New Game Plus mode. Judging by the latest episode of dev diary series DXTV, embedded below, NG+ should allow perfectionists to hunt down all the hidden secrets in the game’s sprawling, open levels.
Presumably we’ll be able to carry over lead character Adam Jensen’s skills and gear across to the new playthrough, but nothing is confirmed yet. Eidos plans to reveal more soon.
What we definitely do know is that Aussie actor Vernon Wells, known for several cult roles including the unfortunate villain Bennett from 80s action classic Commando, will be joining the game’s cast. By the sound of it, he’s playing Jensen’s gruff superior officer. I can’t hear his voice without picturing him in a string vest, punching Arnold Schwarzenegger. It’s a powerful image.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is out in early 2016, for the PC and consoles.
