Sneak peek: Deus Ex 2: Invisible War Deus Ex 2 takes place approximately 20 years after the events depicted in Deus Ex, in a world only beginning to recover from a secret, conspiratorial war, technology run amok and a catastrophic worldwide depression. The winner-take-all geopolitics of mid-21st century Earth have given way to a struggle over more basic concerns: food, water, re-establishing civil law and cleaning up biological and nanotech fallout. Several religious and political factions know that the right moves now could determine the shape of human society for decades - even centuries - to come. You must reveal the secrets of each faction and the identities of the true players in this struggle for world power. In the end, you discovers that he or she may be the key to all of the factions' plans. But the greatest mystery of all - the game's true goal - is more personal, much deeper and, for maximum impact, is best revealed during play. The story is an important part of any Deus Ex universe game but character development, simulation and gameplay are the real heart of the matter. "The goal of a game like Deus Ex 2 is to offer players free-form
gameplay experiences where they control their virtual destinies,"
says Warren Spector, executive producer of Deus Ex 2. "We're
going to provide the great story-line and rich, varied, player-controlled
experience expected of a Deus Ex game, but this time we're pushing
the bar even higher in terms of graphics, AI, physics, sound and
accessibility. Deus Ex 2 Project Director, Harvey Smith and his
team want to take Immersive Simulations as far beyond Deus Ex as
Deus Ex was beyond its predecessors. Gamers have a lot to look forward
to."
