Elias Toufexis has claimed that Eidos requested that he stop talking about Adam Jensen — a character that he voiced in both Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided — publicly a number of years ago.
Speaking in a Reddit post recently, the voice actor commented, “Alas, his story seems done. Goodbye, but hopefully not farewell.” He added during an interview with PCGamesN that he hasn’t heard anything about Deus Ex for years now, and has no idea what the future holds.
Everything I heard past 2016 was unofficial, from friends or acquaintances. Even when they [Eidos Montreal] went off and did Guardians of the Galaxy and shelved any sequel, I had to hear about it second hand. They didn’t even throw an audition my way. They don’t tell me s***. Everything I’ve heard is from friends off the record, and it ain’t much.

I remember I heard from Eidos in 2020 when they called me to ask me to stop talking about Adam Jensen in interviews and podcasts because they wanted people to focus on other things from the studio, which really shows how popular Jensen is, or was anyway.
Recently, it was revealed that a new Deus Ex game had been cancelled at Eidos Montreal, and Toufexis later claimed that the title was not going to be a story revolving around Adam Jensen.
