Deus Ex: Mankind Divided pre-orders will now receive all content
Back in August, Eidos Montreal reveled the “Augment your Pre-order” option for the upcoming Deus Ex: Mankind Divided which would have let players chose which specific pieces of content they would recieve for their pre-order in lieu of certain items being region or console specific. This did not go over all that well, however, and as a result, Eidos has cancelled the program. They wrote the following:
“At both Square Enix and Eidos-Montréal, we’ve been listening to everything you’ve had to say about the Augment Your Pre-Order program. When it was first conceived, we wanted the program to give you more choice about what you received in terms of pre-order incentives – because we’ve seen in the past that when we choose those packages ourselves, and split them across regions, it has caused frustration. We quickly noticed that this approach created even more frustration than before, resulting in a resounding amount of negative feedback.’
“We’ve spent a lot of time reading through all of your comments, working to understand how we can try to make things right for you. After much thought and reflection, we decided to close down the program and make all of the incentive content available to anyone who pre-orders Deus Ex: Mankind Divided or purchases a Day 1 edition of the game.”
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided directly follows the aftermath of the Aug Incident, a day when mechanically augmented citizens all over the world were stripped of control over their minds and bodies, resulting in the deaths of millions of innocents. The year is now 2029, and the golden era of augmentations is over. Mechanically augmented humans have been deemed outcasts and segregated from the rest of society. Crime and acts of terror serve as a thin veil to cover up an overarching conspiracy aimed at controlling the future of mankind…
Protagonist Adam Jensen returns for the sequel having joined up with a task force that hunts down and captures augmented terrorists equipped with a new set of augmentations himself.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will debut on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on February 23, 2016.
