Production of Mankind Divided began after completion of the Human Revolution expansion The Missing Link. The story explores themes of transhumanism and discrimination, using the series' recurring cyberpunk setting and conspiracy theory motif. Main protagonist Adam Jensen, equipped with advanced new augmentations after Human Revolution, is a double agent for the hacker group Juggernaut Collective to expose the Illuminati, which is orchestrating events behind the scenes. After a violent event known as the Aug Incident, augmented people have been segregated this prompts heated debate and an era of "mechanical apartheid". Set in 2029, two years after Human Revolution, the world is divided between normal humans and those with advanced, controversial artificial organs dubbed "augmentations".
Breach was later released as a free, standalone product. Players can complete Breach, a cyberspace-set challenge mode, in addition to the main campaign.
Conversations between characters have a variety of responses, with options in conversations and at crucial story points affecting how events play out. The gameplay-combining first-person shooter, stealth, and role-playing elements-features exploration and combat in environments connected to the main hub of Prague and quests that grant experience and allow customization of the main character's abilities with Praxis Kits. It is the fourth main title in the Deus Ex series, and a sequel to the 2011 game Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Versions for Linux and macOS systems were released in 20, respectively.

I may sit this one out. This abrupt ending may not concern you as much if you’re not as interested in the game’s narrative, but I’m one of those individuals who plays Deus Ex games primarily for the freedom of play and the stories they tell. Which is frustrating, because the rest of the game sounds great. What we don’t have are any details of how extensive those two story missions will be, if they continue the story or just "flesh out" more of what we already knew and any idea of a release date for this content. The Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - Season Pass, which is composed of Narrative DLCs and in-game items, is loaded with content that will help to further flesh out the lore of the Deus Ex Universe. Five Booster Packs of randomly generated content normally acquired through the purchase of microtransactions and 20 "Chipsets" for the Breach game mode.Two story missions titled "System Rift" and "A Criminal Past".I took a look at the game’s $30 season pass, which includes the following items, according to retail listings online: Who wants to start a story that has no satisfying conclusion, or even the plans for one? "I'm left hoping that Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’s developers have an aggressive post-launch plan to continue the game’s story beyond its surprising endpoint," our review concluded. The Guardian remarked that the inclusion of Breach Mode is "by no means a worthy replacement of, you know, the end of the story." The Wrap even called it "half a game" in its headline. This wasn’t a controversial opinion when you look at the reviews for the game. There’s only a faint whiff of resolution, and the prospect of waiting another five years to see how Eidos Montreal’s mechanical augmentations ultimately give way to the nanotech dystopia of the original Deus Ex left me feeling pretty deflated. Very little of the conspiracy Jensen is investigating is revealed, and by the end, there are few answers and a pile of new questions. I try not to exaggerate in reviews, so believe me when I describe my reaction to Mankind Divided’s conclusion as "stunned." There’s a host of story threads presented that are explored over the game’s 30 hours and dropped without comment or resolution after a fairly anticlimactic boss battle.
I’ll quote the whole paragraph, because it’s important: "The most frustrating thing about Mankind Divided is how abruptly it’s all over," our review stated. There were a few things in our review that make me really hesitant, not the least of which is the fact the game doesn’t seem to have shipped with an ending. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will be released tomorrow, and I’ve been wrestling with the question of whether or not I’m going to buy it.
