As part of the 15th anniversary celebrations for the original Deus Ex, publisher Square Enix and developer Eidos Montreal have authorised the release of a fan-created mod for the game.
Rather than simply improving textures or adding a few new graphical upgrades, the ’Revision’ mod overhauls the environments and soundtrack of the original, adding new areas and extra world-building details. You can grab it here.
“Where other projects fill in detail around the edges of the game by tuning gameplay mechanics or improving textures, we focus on the visceral core of the Deus Ex experience, bringing new level design, aesthetic direction and world-building detail,” said John French, creative director at Caustic Creative, the studio behind the mod.
Check out the launch trailer below, and find out more on the mod’s official website. Perhaps now is a good time to revisit the roots of the franchise, as Eidos Montreal puts the finishing touches on next February’s Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
