An unannounced Deus Ex game had been in development for two years, but now is now canceled. Eidos-Montreal is also laying off nearly 100 staff.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy developer Eidos-Montreal is laying off 97 people and reportedly canceling an unannounced Deus Ex game. Eidos-Montreal confirmed the layoffs on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday following a Bloomberg report about the canceled game, reportedly in development for two years.
“The global economic context, the challenges of our industry and the comprehensive restructuring announced by Embracer have finally impacted our studio,” Eidos-Montreal said on X. “The difficult decision has been made to let go 97 people from development teams, administration, and support services.”
Reached for comment, an Eidos-Montreal representative pointed Polygon toward the X post, but did not comment on the reportedly canceled Deus Ex game.
