What's the game about?

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is presented with a first-person perspective, with a third-person cover system, and combines elements of first-person shooters, with a role-playing upgrade system and dialogue trees. The game allows the player to tackle situations using combat, hacking, stealth, and social interactions. Some new features include: on the fly gun customization, remote hacking, Icarus dash (short range silent teleportation), tesla arch, Nano blades, radar with map layouts, and a changed energy system (energy is no longer a series of batteries but 1 bar that slowly refills). The boss battles have been changed so that killing isn't the only way to win a battle, making it possible to complete the game without killing anyone. The XP system has been changed so that the stealth approach doesn't have an XP advantage.
  

The Story (wiki)

The year is 2029, two years after the events of Human Revolution and the "Aug Incident"—an event in which mechanically augmented humans became uncontrollable and lethally violent. Unbeknownst to the public, the affected augmented received implanted technology designed to control them by the shadowy Illuminati, which is abused by a rogue member of the group to discredit augmentations completely. The Illuminati successfully conceal the truth behind rumors and disinformation, while the augmented are now outcasts from normal humans in an era of "mechanical apartheid". The player character is Adam Jensen, an augmented former private security officer now working with a special Interpol unit to capture a terrorist group of augmented humans. However, Jensen also secretly works for the Juggernaut Collective, a hacker group helping him to confront the Illuminati.

In October 2013, video game developer Eidos Montreal announced that the Deus Ex series would be expanding into a mobile game and print media franchise. Additionally, the team behind their 2011 Deus Ex: Human Revolution was already at work on a new release for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.[5] In March 2014, publisher Square Enix applied for a trademark on Mankind Divided's title. In December 2014, Eidos Montreal revealed the Dawn Engine, a new game engine for use in Mankind Divided. Its technology is based on IO Interactive's proprietary Glacier 2 game engine, which was used in Hitman: Absolution (2012). The game's announcement was leaked a day in advance of its official unveiling in early April 2015. The reveal was the culminating moment of a three-day Square Enix promotional event[2] called "Can't Kill Progress" that featured a live Twitch stream of a man pacing, sleeping, and meditating in a nondescript room. Viewers were allowed to change the camera angle and vote on how the man should act during his interrogation. The game was originally slated for a February 2016 release, but Square Enix announced in November 2015 that the game had been re-scheduled for August 2016, saying, "[A]s we are now playing through the game in full, we can see that it will require more time in post-production for tuning, iterations, and refinement to meet our high standards." As a pre-order bonus for the Windows version of the game, an announcer pack featuring the voice of Jensen was released for the multiplayer online battle arena game, Dota 2.
