Eidos Montreal, the studio that gave us Deus Ex and Guardians of the Galaxy, seems to be taking on a large-scale project. According to the latest rumors, the developers are working hard on an ambitious AAA game.
This information came to light thanks to one of the employees' LinkedIn profile, where the project is described not just as a big-budget hit, but as something that exceeds the usual industry standards. The technical foundation of the new game will be the Unreal Engine 5. This is an important step for Eidos, as the studio has often used its own technology in the past. The transition to UE5 will help the team create a highly detailed world that lives up to the high-profile "four A's" status. Behind the scenes, the project is referred to by the code name P11, and work on it has been ongoing since 2019. What exactly lies behind this name remains a mystery.
Deus Ex fans are likely to be disappointed: insiders claim that this is a completely new franchise, not the return of Adam Jensen. We can expect a third-person action-adventure game set in an open world. Given the huge budget and long development cycle, the stakes for the studio are now higher than ever.
