A next-gen Deus Ex game is in the works and Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut will arrive on Oct. 22 in North America and Oct. 25 in Europe for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360, Eidos Montreal announced today. Studio head David Anfossi said in a blog post that the cyberpunk series is set to expand significantly over the next few years.

It sounds like the same sort of transmedia push Ubisoft and other publishers have done for a while now, with books, mobile games, and animated features filling out franchises like Assassin's Creed and Dead Space. We'll see if there's more to it than that, seeing as books and mobile games like Icarus Effect and The Fall have already expanded Deus Ex's media footprint.

Eidos Montreal isn't ready to say any more about its next project, but we'll let you know when we hear more.
