It has been announced that Embracer, the Swedish Media goliath, has abruptly cancelled a new Deus Ex sequel that was in production. Development studio Eidos Montreal had been working on the project for approximately two years, and the cancellation coincides with nearly 100 staff layoffs.
The news follows multiple job losses at Free Radical Design, Volition, Black Forest Games, and Crystal Dynamics. According to Bloomberg, Eidos Montreal will now concentrate on an original franchise.
