Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Collector’s Edition detailed

By Danny Cowan Published April 28, 2016

Publisher Square Enix details Deus Ex: Mankind Divided‘s backing narrative in a new trailer that focuses on cybernetic protagonist Adam Jensen’s role in an Interpol-led counter-terrorist force.

Square Enix also unveiled a bonus-bundled Collector’s Edition for Mankind Divided that includes an exclusive figurine, art book, and in-game extras.

A direct sequel to 2011’s multiplatform FPS Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Mankind Divided is a first-person shooter that features elements of stealth and strategy. Depending on the upgrades and abilities players choose throughout Mankind Divided‘s campaign, starring character Adam Jensen can take on the game’s challenges using either covert tactics or all-out firepower.

Taking place shortly after the events of Human Revolution, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided features a storyline in which cybernetically augmented individuals are outcasts from human society. Formerly a security specialist, Jensen now works with a counter-terroism unit in order to discover the truth behind an Illuminati plot.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will be released in both Day One and Collector’s Editions for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Day One Edition copies of Mankind Divided include a copy of the game, an additional in-game mission, and a Covert Agent Pack offering a variety of in-game items, including weapons, re-skins, and upgrades. All copies of Mankind Divided additionally ship with a digital soundtrack sampler, mini art book, novella, and comic book.

Series devotees who buy Mankind Divided‘s $140 Collector’s Edition will also get a 9″ Adam Jensen figurine, a 48-page physical art book, and an exclusive Steelbook case.

The Digital Standard Edition of Mankind Divided will include all digital content bundled with the game’s Day One Edition. Digital buyers can also opt for a $90 Digital Deluxe Edition, which includes access to all future Season Pass content.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided premieres on August 23rd for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PCs via Steam.

A free new app will start rolling out on Samsung Smart TVs today: GameBreaks. It's a new gaming app which will feature an array of original titles that will be expanded over time. The app is launching with a brand new puzzle game today called Ripplash.

GameBreaks is the next step in an ongoing gaming push for Samsung. In 2022, the company rolled out a Samsung Gaming Hub app to select TVs that pulled together cloud streaming services like GeForce Now. It has built on that strategy over the past three years, adding Xbox Game Pass to the mix, creating its own controller, and launching original games in the form of The Six and Rivals Arena.

Borderlands 4 pushes the series forward while addressing past mistakes

A psycho in Borderlands 4.

Multiplayer shooters have evolved quite a bit since the first Borderlands was released in 2009, but I can appreciate that Gearbox Entertainment’s series has stayed mostly the same over that time. Booting up a Borderlands game, I always know I can expect vibrant comic-book style visuals, solid solo or co-op shooter gameplay, charmingly grating humor, and a whole lot of loot. All of these things still ring true and louder than ever in Borderlands 4, but the latest Borderlands game is also shaping up to be the most experimental one yet.

Last month, I visited 2K’s headquarters in Novato, California, and played a couple of hours of Borderlands 4. The more traditionally designed, Destiny-like open world structure stood out, but all of the new movement options available during combat were also a real game-changer. The over-the-top humor and the number of legendary drop have both been drastically reduced, which gives Borderlands 4 a slightly different feel than Borderlands 3. All of this makes Borderlands 4 feel different than what has come before, but ultimately just as appealing.
