Interactive and Ion Storm Announce Deus
Ex is now shipping
SAN
FRANCISCO, June. 27th, 2000 -
Eidos Interactive, a leading worldwide
developer and publisher of interactive software products,
announced today that Deus Ex
is now shipping for the PC CD-ROM.
It's
the new millennium. Civilization is near collapse. The world economy is
in chaos. The middle class no longer exists. Deadly viruses have
ravaged the earth's
population. Terrorism runs rampant. Out of this maelstrom of
violence and suffering an ancient conspiracy bent on world domination
emerges from the shadows of legend. The conspirators' greatest
strength? No one believes
they exist. No one but you. Develop
your
skills and build your network of allies. Employ stealth, strategy or
action.
But trust no one. Even your allies may be more than they seem.
Deus
Ex is a globe-hopping,
epic adventure. Travel the world
from New York to Paris to Hong Kong exploring locations recreated from
detailed maps, blueprints and photographs. How you choose to deal with
scores of NPC's affects the outcome of the game, minute-to-minute
mission to mission, start to finish.
Create
a compelling alter
ego and select and
develop your own unique set of
skills,
nanotech augmentations
and
determine
which weapons and objects you
will need to survive and solve problems
. Will
you be the charismatic master manipulator, the shrewd and stealthy tactician,
or
a deadly
avenging angel?
Developed
by Ion Storm's Austin, Texas development office, Deus Ex features
the software design talents of Warren Spector, co-producer of such
hits as Ultima VI and Wing
Commander 1. Warren went on to produce the award-winning
Ultima Underworld series, Ultima VII, Part 2: Serpent Isle, System
Shock, Wings of Glory and many
more.
"I
think I can speak for the team when I say we're all totally jazzed about
the release of our little genre-bending baby," says Spector,
Producer/Project Director on Deus Ex. "We took some chances with
this game, tried some things
no one had done before, things no one could say for sure
were even possible -- and I think the team pulled it off incredibly
well; the anticipation as we
wait for players to get their hands on the game and
tell us how we REALLY did is almost unbearable. I can't remember the
last time I was this excited
about the release of a game I'd worked on."
Deus
Ex has been considered by many members of the gaming press to be one of
the "Must Have" titles for 2000.
Deus Ex is in stores now.
