Square Enix quietly announced via Twitter late last week, that the latest game in their Go series of games would arrive this week. If you have played Hitman Go or Lara Croft Go, then you probably have been anticipating Deus Ex Go. We have been waiting for it, and now we know we don’t have to wait much longer.
I am a fan of Deus Ex. I remember playing the original game on my PC back in the day. It had a compelling story, plenty of action and decent graphics for back then. Fast forward to 2016, and Deus Ex games are still around. That should say something about the popularity of the series. Square Enix has wisely chosen to continue the franchise. Adding Deus Ex to the most recent puzzle/strategy games like Hitman Go and Lara Croft go make complete sense. What some fans hope for, is that Square Enix takes it a bit farther as it relates to the main character, upgrades and action.
“Deus Ex Go is a turn-based infiltration puzzle game set in a stylized interpretation of the Deus Ex Universe. As double agent Adam Jensen, you’ll use hacking, combat, and augmentations to solve the most challenging puzzles of the entire GO series.” – Square Enix
We are pretty sure that Square Enix is aware of the huge fanbase for this game. Based on the brief description, it looks like the game will live up to the original premise of the story. It is all about using augmentations to affect the environment and to take down the enemies in the game. We hope so too. Since Hitman Go and Lara Croft Go were excellent titles, we are pretty confident that Deus Ex Go will live up to the hype.
The game is set to arrive Thursday, August 18th. The other games in the Go series have been premium priced titles, which we have certainly appreciated. Both previous titles also received a fair amount of downloadable content as well. If Deus Ex Go is to be priced similarly, that should be around $4.99, though we don’t have confirmation on that yet. As soon as we find out more, we will let you know. Don’t worry, we will be checking the Play Store all day Wednesday too, just in case it shows up early. As soon as it arrives, we will let you know. Honestly though, it will be shortly after we hit the download button first!
If you haven’t seen it yet, here is a short trailer for the game. Are you in or out? Will you be purchasing Deus Ex Go? Have you played the others in the series… and no, please don’t bring up Pokemon Go.
