I mean they did blow through their budget and left a game half finished. A game which sold worse than its predecessor (part of it due to corporate meddling seriously the whole "AuGmEnT YoUr PrEoRdEr" bullshit) with a budget of around apparently 70 million. Its clear the series was dead. It sucks and its hilarious they somehow failed to make a profitable avengers game but I guess by the time it released the hype around marvel's superheros was starting to wane.
That and only providing half the story. It just ended as things were escalating with you taking out an irrelevant pawn in the grand scheme of things...
Personally, what I would really like to see is a remaster of the original, but I doubt that is happening any time soon.
Voice acting is always good, gameplay isn’t particularly complex but it’s fun and flashy/stealthy, writing ranges from decent to good… really enjoyed both older ones and newer ones, a shame there isn’t anything in the works.
Mankind Divided already felt like they decided right in the middle that it's ready to be shipped. The final boss fight had such mid-boss energy and the story didn't feel finished either.

And just a reminder, Eidos ditched this game to make the Avengers game that pretty much sucked.

He didn't ask for any of this.

It sounds like he is asking for this.

It's a line from the character in the game.

I'm aware. The title of OP's article makes it sound like Adam Jensen's actor is asking for a new Deus Ex game. Hence, "he is asking for this".

The studio was waiting for him to ask them to make a new one, but.....he never asked for this.

From what I've heard there is a new game that is in the very early stages of development

We're past due for another revival and then instant re-murder of the series.
