"Embracer Group Cancels New Deus Ex Game, Lays Off 97 Eidos Employees"

Eidos-Montreal, the developer behind Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, is laying off 97 staff and reportedly canceling an unannounced Deus Ex game after being impacted by the global economic context and Embracer's restructuring. The studio will now focus on developing an original franchise. Embracer Group, which acquired Eidos-Montreal in 2022, has been facing challenges, including layoffs and studio closures, contributing to a tough period for the video game industry with over 6,000 workers laid off in January 2024 alone.
