Square Enix trademarks Deus Ex: Human Defiance

**Blacksite** · 02-28-2013

Square Enix filed a trademark yesterday for Deus Ex: Human Defiance in Europe.

The name bears a similar title to the publisher’s 2011-launched Deus Ex: Human Revolution, developed by Eidos Montreal.

Perhaps a sequel is on the way? Or a port for Wii U?

Thanks, NeoGAF.

I haven't played a Deus Ex game I didn't like so I'd welcome a fourth title.

UPDATE:

The Deus Ex: Human Defiance trademark which popped up earlier this week is, as suspected, for the movie based on the franchise and not a new game in the series. The correlation was figured out by Superannuation, after a domain registration filed by CBS Films popped up online. The movie will feature a cyberpunk setting according to filmmaker C. Robert Cargill, and is based on 2011′s Human Revolution.

Hopefully a new game and not a port. I enjoyed HR very much but I have not played the original games.

**RyanGT** · 02-28-2013

Yeah I haven't even played HR but I've heard good things about it.

do you guys recommended picking it up?

Its a fantastic game, loved every second of it, played through multiple times, and still found other routes and ways to play the game.

The only let down, once you know a way to kill the bosses, they can take less then 20 seconds to defeat, though the boss battles where outsourced to another company.

Its one of my very few platinum games, loved it. Should definitely play it.

Hopefully this new game game will be just as good as the last, waiting with optimism for a Squeenix title, who'd have thought it.

If you can get it for $40, the definitely. It kinda feels like a console launch release game to me where game play is concerned, but it does have a great story and the world and number of options on how to play are fantastic.

I really hope this is a sequel.

I think you can get it for pretty cheap now. If not definitely worth a rent. Somewhat of a short game though.

I haven't played Deus EX Human Revolution yet, I'm still stuck on Ni No Kuni. One of my friends is constantly telling me to play it. I would like to see a Just Cause 3 on the PS4, now that will be sweet.

**Dave-The-Rave** · 02-28-2013

Damn it, I wish Square kept the Eidos name.

It's one of the favorite games this generation my friend. Right up there with RDR and ME3 for me.

It's kind of boring in the beginning (so was the original), but after two or three hours and the first few augmentations the game has you by the throat and won't let go (just like the original). It's amazing, addictive fun, and not something you're likely to forget.

I personally don't feel the game has the great replay value people esteem it for, however. Despite the multiple paths you're still heading toward the same destination--but discovering those paths for the first time is extremely fun.

There's a Deus ex movie announced aswell. It could be that.....but then square wouldn't have anything to do with it would it?

Color me excited for the next game

**ps3freak18** · 02-28-2013

OH HELL YES! Deus Ex was one of my favorite games this gen. Not to mention it looked pretty damn good too. I'm ready to see what they are up to next. They sure as hell sold me with HR.

The names do sound similar so it could be the case. Square Enix still own the rights so I think they would be filing the trademarks regardless.

I'm still playing Ni No Kuni and both of us are swapping that game. hahaha This fucker here, I have tell him and say girl scout cookies at the door and he fuckin runs to the door and I snatch his chair and play my saved file on Ni no kuni.

I'll get to deuse ex pretty soon, once I finish this current game. I'm tell ya, Ni No Kuni is where it's at.

Human Revolution was like the only game Square Enix published that I really enjoyed.

So I'm happy to hear this.

(Tomb Raider next week!)

One of my absolute favorites this gen!

Human Revolution is one of my favourite ps3 games. This is great news.

**itachi73378** · 03-01-2013

The artstyle and colour schemes in this game we so atmospheric. Love the symbolism in the colour extremes (contrast between dark and bright aspects of the future)

Yeah it surely was a unique game in that aspect. The future sure as hell looked cool. Unlike the gimmicky future that is portrayed in most games.

Turns out it really is for the film adaptation of Human Revolution:

I'm sure we'll still see a fourth Deus Ex title.
