2016 can’t come soon enough if you’re looking forward to the next installment of the Deus Ex franchise with Square Enix confirming an exact release date for the game alongside some special pre-order and Collector Edition goodies.
Arriving on Xbox One, PS4 and PC come Feb 23rd 2016, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will also run with a special pre-order campaign entitled ‘Augment Your Pre-Order’.
With the pre-order tiers expanding as more copies of the game are reserved, you’ll get the chance to enhance your own fully customised Day One Editions of Mankind Divided. In the spirit of emphasizing player choice, fans will be able to choose which pre-order bonuses they will receive from each unlocked tier. In addition the fans will have the opportunity to shift the official release date early by 4 days.
Tier details are as follows:
TIER 1 – ONE ITEM PER PRE-ORDER (UNLOCKED FOR EVERYONE ON AUG. 31)
Choose between three Starter Packs that cater to stealth, aggressive or nostalgic players.
· Intruder Pack – Provides a custom-skinned version of Adam Jensen’s trench coat and pistol with a silencer, laser sight, recoil and accuracy upgrades. Other bonuses include two EMP grenades, five packs of 10MM pistol ammo, 1000 credits and a Praxis point for early augmentations.
· Enforcer Pack – Includes a custom-skinned version of Adam Jensen’s combat armor and combat rifle with a holosight, reload and capacity upgrades. Players will also receive two HE grenades, five packs of 5.56MM combat rifle ammo, 1000 credits and a Praxis Point for early augmentations
· Classic Pack – Grants access to Adam Jensen’s iconic combat armor, trench coat and revolver from Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Players will also receive an extra pack of revolver Ammo.
TIER 2 – ONE ITEM PER PRE-ORDER
Pick between one of two bonuses that further immerse players into the game world – a digital art book that shows the aesthetic of the game, or a digital OST sampler with six tracks from award winning composer Michael McCann.
TIER 3 – AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE
Unlock the “Desperate Measures” pre-order mission in which Adam returns to the epicenter of the Ruzicka Train Station explosion and must rely on his augmentations and covert operative skills to unveil the true culprit responsible for the bombing.
TIER 4 – ONE ITEM PER PRE-ORDER
Get an in-depth look at the Deus Ex universe with a digital comic book that dives deeper into the game’s global conspiracies, or with a novella that follows iconic characters from Deus Ex: Human Revolution with new and unknown details on their lives.
TIER 5 – AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE
For the first time in the franchise’s history, if players meet this tier, the game will release four days before the official release date.
Additionally, the real hardcore fans will be able to get their hands on a Collector’s Edition which is also available for pre-order. In addition to containing all the in-game content & rewards from the ‘Augment Your Pre-Order’ campaign, it also comes with a 48-page ‘Titan’ Art Book, a 9″ Adam Jensen figurine, a limited edition steelbook and the Day 1 Edition of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
Could this be the start of a new pre-order system that will enable us to all get exactly what we want? We hope other devs and publishers are taking note!
