Augment your pre-order before you augment your-self.
09.02.15 - 9:21 PM
Two years after the events in Deus Ex: Human Revolution and almost five after its release, Adam Jensen is back to save the world from augmentations and prejudice against augmentations using his...augmentations.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is the highly-anticipated next chapter in the Deus Ex saga and is set to be officially released February 23rd, 2016. As the title would suggest, the world is torn between people with augmentations (which range from prosthetic limbs to missiles exploding from one's chest) and those who see them as a danger to the rest of the world. Making choices was a big part of Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Eidos Montreal says that the decisions made in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will carry a lot more weight than they did in its predecessor.
It is important to note that there is potential for the game to ship out four days earlier than February 23rd, but it depends on the pre-orders. Speaking of which, there are several different options for pre-orders and Edios Montreal has released a trailer describing he bonuses and how to make it truly your own. Check it out below.
Here's a description of how the pre-order system will work and the different "tiers" offered to players:
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.
There will also be a more standard collector's edition released, which will include a 9-inch Adam Jensen figurine, a day-one edition copy of the game, a 48 page Titan art book, as well as all of the in-game content that is typical with a season pass and all of the other pre-order options.
