    I want another Deus ex… everything immersive sim gets cancelled, delayed or cursed

    • Daikatana (rushed into oblivion)
    • Prey (2017 - failed)
    • Deus Ex Reboot Trilogy (Cancelled)
    • Prey 2 (Cancelled)
    • Dishonored 3 (denied)
    • Core Decay (indefinitely delayed due to 3D Realms Folding)
    • Fortune’s Run (developer arrested)
    • Deathloop sequel or successor (denied)
    • Redfall (rushed into oblivion for shareholder agenda)
    • Judas (development purgatory/ hell)
    • BioShock 4 (development hell / purgatory)

    Why does this keep happening to my favorite genre…?

    If someone knows on steam a game that can scratch the Deus Ex itch, I’d like to hear you out

    I suppose Peripeteia is the only one right now and maybe Fallen Aces?

      Two words: Sharholder Value

      For me Cyberpunk 2077 as a Netrunner has some nice Deus Ex vibes :)

        Especially Cyberpunk 2077 With just a ton of difficulty mods + Night city alive (random gang vs gang fights) and re-inforcements so they can turn into full on gang wars. Makes the game feel way more alive though sadly V still has too much accumulated protagonist privalige by the middle of the game.

      I suspect deeply immersive sim game with AAA graphic is dead from an economical perspective. It is more and more costly to have visually impressive games, and immersive sims does not sold that much.

      On the other side, I suspect the futur of such games is indie, with retro look, so devs can focus on what makes such game awesome.
