In 2015, a sequel to Human Revolution was announced, titled Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. The game was released in 2011, and despite some skepticism caused by the switch to a new developer, the game received praise from both critics and players. In 2009, Eidos Interactive was acquired by Square Enix, and work began on reviving the series with a new game, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, developed by one of Eidos' internal studios, Eidos Montréal. The series went dormant after Invisible War's poor reception, and Ion Storm Austin itself shuttered just over a year after it was released, after releasing only one more game and finishing their six-game contract with Eidos. Invisible War had a tumultuous development cycle, largely caused by their publisher, Eidos Interactive, forcing the development team to both develop primarily for the Xbox, and use a game engine that, despite being a successor to that which powered the original game, simply could not handle a game like Deus Ex nor work properly on said system.

Unfortunately, lightning did not strike twice and Deus Ex: Invisible War was met with harsh criticism upon release. Since the original was so successful, a sequel was inevitable. To this day, Deus Ex is widely considered one of the greatest games ever made.

The game was an enormous success, with people complimenting its in-depth Genre-Busting mechanics, its engaging narrative and its immersive atmosphere.
