“Deus Ex: Human Revolution” Trailer

03.12.11

Another upcoming game I’m excited for is Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the third installment in the Deus Ex series.

Categorized as a “cyberpunk action RPG,” Human Revolution takes place in a dystopian world in 2027, where there are great technological advancements, particularly in biomechanical augmentations, but also the attendant upheaval and corruption. The trailer opens with a dream sequence/metaphor for the protagonist’s bionic enhancement, related to the story of Icarus, which I love.

A longer/more elaborated version of the trailer can be seen here, with a clever/dorky [h+]³ symbol appearing at the end to represent the concept of the game (“Transhumanism cubed”/“Deus Ex 3”).

With lush visuals and an intriguing storyline, Deus Ex: Human Revolution looks to be promising. It’s certainly one of the best game trailers I’ve ever seen. It will be released on August 23.
