Deus Ex director Warren Spector thinks that 'if someone made Deus Ex today it might be perceived as a documentary,' so if he made a new one it would be pretty different

Please make a new one.

You can't have a chat with Warren Spector and not ask him about Deus Ex. Sure, it's almost a quarter of a century old, but it feels pretty relevant today. And, crucially, it's still an impressive game—albeit a bit long in the tooth. So of course our itinerant interviewer Jeremy Peel had to raise the subject during a conversation that you'll see more of next month.

It's not a great time for Deus Ex at the moment, of course. Earlier this year, Embracer killed off a Deus Ex sequel two years into its development. Embracer might not have thought it had legs, but Spector—whose direct involvement with the series he created ended in 2004—believes it still has relevance today.
