It seems that another "Deus Ex" title is in the works.
When "Project CKP" started on Monday, the interactive reveal by Square Enix tormented not just the kidnapped man in the company's live streaming video but also the fans who were trying to guess what it's about. Gamers were both interested and frustrated at the same time, so they took to the Internet and scoured sources that would shed light on what the game company has up its sleeve. Thanks to their diligence, some enterprising fans might have been able to hack data, enough to come out with plausible content on what "Project CKP" might be all about.
An enterprising hacker decided to spoil the surprise for Square Enix, coming up with images about the big reveal. The images were leaked on a Russian website and then posted on NeoGAF.
According to the text, the reveal will be about the sequel to the original 2011 game, "Deus Ex: Human Revolution." The next instalment, titled "Deus Ex: Mankind Divided," is set in the year 2029, which is two years after the events of the original game. The main protagonist, Adam Jensen, returns and acts together with a task force put together by Interpol. Their mission is tracking down and capturing augmented terrorists, while, in the process, being wary of the new society where humans fear those who are already cybernetically enhanced, even if they are on the side of the law.
Still, the livestream going on in Square Enix' Twitch channel is not yet over, since it will end Wednesday. However, in the first few hours of the video, where a young man is being held and interrogated in a secret location, one of the main players seem to have a robotic arm. Since the game's main premise is on scientific progress through integration of robotics into the human body, this leads to speculations that indeed, the main purpose of "Project CKP" is to entice gamers on the next sequel of the "Deus Ex" series.
