Deus Ex Universe lights up with next-gen 'Dawn' engine
Deus Ex Universe is not an MMO, despite the suspiciously grand name, Eidos Montreal says in a blog post. The studio announced Deus Ex Universe last year and some fans equated "Universe" with a potential MMO – but in reality, Deus Ex's Universe is more spiritual than mechanical. "Some of you have had concerns that 'Universe' meant 'MMO.' Rest assured, it does not," Eidos Montreal says. "Deus Ex Universe is the name we are giving to the fictional world and the rich lore we are creating for it, which will of course include core games, as well as any other projects that will help bring the world of Deus Ex to life. We won't go into too much detail for now, but what we envision is for our projects to have meaningful ties to one another, in order for them to strengthen and deepen your experience within this Universe." Eidos Montreal also outlines its new PC and next-gen console engine, the Dawn Engine. The Dawn Engine is based on a "heavily modified version" of IO Interactive's Glacier 2 engine, and Eidos is showcasing it with the in-engine screenshot above. "In the past, we've relied on existing engines for our games," Eidos Montreal writes. "But in the end, we found that our creative vision was somehow limited. So we decided it was time for us to invest in creating an engine tailored for our needs."
