   We waited and waited, but it seems that Eidos is still not prepared to properly announce the next game in the Deus Ex series, leaving us with the oh-so-brief revelation from a few days ago, made during an interview with Patrick Melchior (Eidos France general director) on Canadian station MusiquePlus. Although the theme of the interview was actually Tomb Raider: Anniversary (recently confirmed for the Wii as well), monsieur Patrick couldn't resist saying that the first mission of the young Eidos Montreal studio will be to bring back the Deus Ex series.

   About 40 developers are currently working on the future Deus Ex 3 (replace "3" with some uninspired subtitle), but before we get all excited, let's not forget that neither Warren Spector, nor Harvey Smith - the "illuminati" minds behind the first two parts - have anything to do with Eidos anymore, ever since they left the Ion Storm studio (also shut down in the meantime). However we do hope that it won't be another shitty game like Project: Snowblind.

   It might be interesting to note that the DeusEx3.com domain was reserved by Eidos since 2000, in the same year that the first Deus Ex was being released - which, by the way, has just been declared the best PC game ever on CVG. And in 2003 Warren Spector was already rushing to "confirm" the Deus Ex 3 project, saying only that it will continue the story of Deus Ex: Invisible War.

   So, until further novelties, we're patiently waiting for Eidos' other upcoming projects, including Tomb Raider 8 (the next one after Anniversary), planned in great secrecy for Christmas 2008. (thanks Dan)
