Eidos Montreal has been talking up Deus Ex 3 at this year's GDC. The game now has a new subtitle, 'Human Revolution', and won't feature multiplayer at all.
In an interview with IGN, game director Jean-Francois Dugas explained the choice to eschew a competitive online element.
"Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a single-player game only. Being the first project out of the new Eidos Montral studio, and staying true to the Deus Ex legacy, the development team wanted to focus purely on the single-player experience to ensure we delivered on that front."
And fans of the original game will be pleased to hear that Eidos Montreal is focusing strongly on its sizeable influence.
"Deus Ex: Human Revolution uses the first Deus Ex game, which perfectly married the first-person shooter and roleplaying game, as its reference point, so you can expect an experience similar to it," Dugas said.
"The goal is to deliver the perfect mix of both genres, giving players the option of choosing to play the game depending on their preferred play style. The game is built around a multi-path, multi-solution approach so you often have more than one way to pass an obstacle, and within that you have tonnes of options for character and weapon customization."
Deus Ex 3: Human Revolution is out on 360, PC and PS3, with a release date still to be announced.
