Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is a cyberpunk action RPG from Eidos Montréal. In 2029, augmented agent Adam Jensen takes on dangerous missions and investigates a conspiracy. Firearms, stealth, hacking, conversations and the upgrading of his implants allow different ways to approach problems. The adventure focuses on choices within elaborately designed locations.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided was released on Aug 23, 2016 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The later Linux and macOS versions belong to the PC family. There is no standalone native version of the original game for PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided was released natively for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. On PC, releases for Linux and macOS are also available. The PS4 version can be played on PS5, and the Xbox One version on Xbox Series X|S, via backward compatibility. This means there is no separate launch of a PS5 or Xbox Series version.

Missions allow several approaches: Jensen can fight openly, bypass security systems, take out enemies unnoticed, or reach his goal by alternative routes. Exploration, dialogue and your choices on technical upgrades determine which options are available to him in a given situation. The campaign is designed for single-player.

System Rift, a major expansion story, was released on Sep 22, 2016. Adam Jensen works with Frank Pritchard again and investigates the data network of Palisade Blade. A Criminal Past was released on Feb 23, 2017 and tells of an earlier mission in which Jensen went undercover in a maximum-security prison. Both expansions require the main game.

The minimum requirements call for an Intel Core i3-2100 or a comparable AMD CPU, 8 GB RAM, a GeForce GTX 660 with 2 GB or Radeon HD 7870 with 2 GB, and 45 GB storage. Recommended specs include an Intel Core i7-3770K or AMD FX-8350, a GeForce GTX 970 or Radeon RX 480, and 55 GB storage including additional content. The Steam client now requires Windows 10 or newer.

Adam Jensen works for the anti-terror unit Task Force 29, two years after the events of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Augmented people are being shut out, while terror attacks and political power struggles fuel distrust. During his investigation, Jensen uncovers interests that reach far beyond his unit's official assignments.

Prague is one of the central areas of Mankind Divided. In the city, monitored streets, residential districts, underground passages and heavily secured facilities come together. Beyond the main missions, conversations and side missions offer further insight into the tensions between augmented and non-augmented people.

Hiding spots, cover, air vents and technical access points let you move through guarded areas without open gunfire. If you prefer a direct approach, you can upgrade weapons and combat abilities. The game supports different playstyles instead of a single fixed solution for every mission.

Using Jensen's technical skills, you can hack terminals and secured systems. This opens up alternative routes, extra information and ways to bypass security systems. Hacking stands alongside social skills, exploration and combat as a separate way to solve problems.

Jensen's mechanical implants expand his abilities, for example in sneaking, movement or combat. Upgrading requires choices, because not every improvement can be the focus at the same time. This means the same task can play out differently depending on your equipment and playstyle.

Breach is an additional single-player mode with virtual infiltration tasks. Instead of continuing the main story, you try to complete set challenges as efficiently as possible. The abstractly designed environments and scoring set it apart from Jensen's narrative campaign.

The PC version supports German text, subtitles and full German voice-over. Other fully voiced languages include English, French, Italian and Spanish. The campaign and Breach mode are designed for single-player, and a cooperative campaign mode is not part of the game.
