Deus Ex 3 to Return to Series' Roots

In an interview with Total PC Gaming, lead designer Jean Francois Dugas states his intention to stick to the game's core roots, NowGamer reports.
(We ultimately decided to focus more on the first game," said Jean Francois Dugas. "...In terms of being a Deus Ex game, we keep the core gameplay essence alive, which is a hybrid of action-RPG in which the core gameplay mechanics revolve around combat, stealth, hacking, and social aspects."

The Montreal-based dev team are also ensuring that Deus Ex 3's levels are more expansive than those in the second game - "think Hong Kong in Deus Ex 1," said Dugas.
