Deus Ex Clan Wars Takes Series Toward Action?

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to an Eidos Interactive financial presentation, originally from late 2003, but only noticed recently, mentioning the development of Deus Ex: Clan Wars, a previously unhighlighted title that continues the popular stealth action series. The game is mentioned in context of an "Example WIP [Work In Progress]", and a newer financial presentation on the Eidos UK site indicates Clan Wars may only be a working title, since it lists 'Deus Ex 'Action' game' on release schedules for the next financial year. Online rumors suggest Clan Wars may be a PlayStation 2/Xbox title that's in development at Eidos-owned Crystal Dynamics, who is also developing the new Tomb Raider title, and elsewhere, the recent Eidos financial presentation lists other unheralded forthcoming titles, including "Commandos 'Tactical Shooter'", presumably an extension of the Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines franchise, and new IPs called "Crash N' Burn" and "25 To Life".

[Anonymous Coward]

It's what you've been waiting for, the ultimate in conspiracy 3d fighting games! Over 160 motion captured combos! Pit your favorite heroes in the Deus Ex universe with your favorite villians . . . or heroes! Use J.C. Denton's flashlight biomod, or the greasels' jumping action! Combine moves! 13 different fully rendered environments, including Paul's Apartment, UNATCO HQ, and inside a black helicopter! Avoid blistering enemy attacks by jumping into vents!

Warren Spector, producer, says, "I think we'll see some very emergent gameplay result out of this very open-ended format. Players will constantly be confronted with choices: do you punch low, or kick high? This is the kind of gameplay that exemplifies the future."

Coming out for Xbox and PC!

(PC version requires Xbox controller. And Xbox. And TV.)
