‘Deus Ex’ season pass offers extra story DLC and tons of consumable goodies

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided releases tomorrow after a six-month delay and plenty of controversy, and all signs point to it being a worthy chapter in Adam Jensen’s story. But if you still want more augmented action and can’t wait for a sequel, Square Enix has detailed just want to expect in the game’s season pass. In addition to new narrative content, the pass will load you up with plenty of consumable items and currency.

Starting tomorrow, anyone who purchases the Mankind Divided season pass will be given a plethora of goodies to make their time with the game easier, or at least a little quicker. An “Assault Pack” offers “a custom skinned Battle Rifle,” the “Chaff Augmentation,” as well as extra ammunition and grenades. The “Tactical Pack,” meanwhile, will give players a custom Tranquilizer Rifle, the “Micro Assembler” augmentation, and non-lethal ammunition and grenades. Buying these two packs on their own will otherwise cost you about $15.

“Chipsets” and special booster packs are also included, letting you acquire “exclusive items” as well as additional currency and ammunition, and four “Praxis Kits” will also let you customize your version of Adam Jensen more thoroughly. As with the two weapon packs, this DLC is all available on its own, with the largest chipset pack costing $40 — more than the season pass itself.

Though little information is known on the game’s two narrative packs aside from their names — System Rift and A Criminal Past — you won’t have to wait too long to dive into post-release content. The former pack will be available this fall, while the latter is launching early next year.

The Deus Ex: Mankind Divided season pass will set you back $30, and it’s also included in the game’s “Digital Deluxe Edition.” Unfortunately, the collector’s edition, which features an art book and a beautiful figurine, doesn’t offer the season pass.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided releases tomorrow, August 23, for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

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.
