Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Has Gone Gold

Developer Eidos Montreal announced that Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has gone gold, which is great news for fans anticipating the sci-fi action RPG adventure.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is going to be the latest entry in science fiction video game series that will have some series pedigree. The predecessor of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Human Revolution, achieved great success thanks to its incredible, gritty storytelling and enthralling character growth, the latter of which lets players to dictate how they wanted to play the game.

After the announcement that Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will be delayed for six months, fans thought that the previous title's quality is the reason behind it, convinced developer Eidos Montreal was simply perfecting the game.

It remains to be seen if the finished product will live up to the expectations, but gamers don't need to worry about any more delays. The Twitter account of Deus Ex announced yesterday that Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has gone gold, which now makes it officially ready to be sold in stores.

Although it was always likely Deus Ex: Mankind Divided was going to be finished on time for its targeted release date this summer, in an era where development of games can be prolonged indefinitely, the gold announcement from Eidos Montreal is more than welcomed. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is another Square Enix title, and the publisher does have a good track record of lengthy game development in the ten year development span of Final Fantasy 15, so it's likely that the Twitter post will soothe some Adam Jensen admirer' fears.

Early thoughts from those that tried Deus Ex: Mankind Divided hands-on are that it's an improvement on the qualities that already made its predecessor so unique and compelling. The mechanical apartheid in Deus Ex: Mankind Divides has led to some emotional, moving storytelling, while the game's combat system will unlock either lethal or pacifist Deus Ex: Mankind Divided boss battles.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will launch on August 23, 2016 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
