Will there be more DLC after Missing Link?

[WraithBringer]

I was astonished as how good Missing Link is, real value for money, shocked I was to find you can save the scientists and prisoners etc. It's the best piece of DLC I think I have bought yet.

My question is, now Missing Link is out, is that it? Will we get some more storyline missions? Perhaps another add-on? Maybe a DLC with Jensens activities until Deus Ex 4 comes out? Whatever it is, I hope they do make more.

[Imp of the Perverse]

Agreed, I thought The Missing Link felt more polished than most of the main game, and had a more compelling story. I'm sure they'll come out with more, they've captured a lot of people's attention by producing a great game, it'd be a mistake not to capitalize on that. As for what I'd like to see in a DLC, my first choice would be a separate DLC for each of the game's four endings so that you could explore the consequences of your final decision in some detail. Either that, or a deeper investigation into Adam's past.

yeah I like your idea of more dlc exploring the consequences of Adam actions. It'd be nice to integrate another characters or subplots with the book as well.

Hell NO

TML may be a good dlc but no more after that.

Where's the next DLC gonna come from?The next Deus Ex game being made where alot of stuff is cut out?

No more dlc,save all the content for the sequel.

Somehow, I'd always assumed that any sequel to DX:HR would bring in a new protagonist, rather than going the Metal Gear/Mass Effect route and making one character the Second Coming. So my hope has been that they tie up Jensen with DLC.

[Imp of the Perverse]

I think, with what the developers have probably learned from this most recent release, that the next game in the series has the potential to be epic. Better to save that for a sequel to the final game (as much as I'd like to see a modern rehash of the original) than to waste it on the few years between HR an the original. That gap could easily be filled out by DLC.

Ehh, iono. They'd be starting all over again if they did a sequel to IW, and a lot of gamers would be lost as DXHR was their first DX experience. Besides, what's wrong with overlapping time frames into DX1? We can continue to play as Adam and get to see DX1 from a totally different perspective.

One way or another, given the LONG period of time that has passed since DX1, DE:HR needs to be handled as a restart of the game/series and DX 1 needs a modern do-over. I played DX 1 when it was shiny and brand new. It was a "wow" at the time with the graphics and world and gameplay being state-of-the-art but it is SERIOUSLY dated now. To the extent of being virtually unplayable/intolerable. I've tried twice to replay DX1 and I just cannot get past the training part at the beginning. The graphics are too crude by today's standards and come off barely better than the original Doom II. DE:HR needs to be the (re)start of the series and DX 1 to come as second (or third) in the new series. I got to liking playing as Jensen quite a bit and wouldn't mind somehow continuing in his shoes for a sequel but one way or another DX 1 needs to be redone with a state-of-the-art game engine (graphics, physics) and a bit more refinement of the original story.

[jeyeichkey]

I would like more. I like the setting, the different playstyles, and the characters with the augmentations. I haven't got tired of this at all yet. Still playing and will probably do that for the rest of the year. Next year? We'll see. :^)

[Kalian]

Would rather love to see a new game Deus Ex 4

[zenstar]

At the very end of the credits for TML there was some text saying something along the lines of "we're just getting started."
Seems to hint at more DLC or a sequel.

[Geralt z Rivii]

Would like to see a big expansion.

@ drunkrussian9

That's a good point about most players being in the dark if DX4 picked up after Invisible War. I also think the current Hydra/OCM storyline is interesting enough that it needs to be resolved, and since I can't remember any mention of it in Invisible War it would need to be wrapped up before DX1. My main reason for thinking it could be handled by DLC is that it wouldn't require any of the major changes to game mechanic, technology, environments, and resources that you'd usually see from one sequel to the next. The state of augs, gameplay, and the level of technology of the settings wouldn't need to change much. A post IW sequel though would see a switch to nano-augs, new factions, and more futuristic gadgets and architecture, requiring a lot of new resources, which could better be done in a full sequel. I'm sure they could come up with a story that stands up well enough on its own, maybe set in a world shaped by the changes of Invisible War but not necessarily sharing the same exact characters and story arc. Any necessary information could be presented in some introductory cutscenes, similar to the ones that opened up HR.

[Agent Denton]

In all honesty I would rather see like a Director's cut even if the boss fights have to be moved around so they can develop the characters a little more. Stick in all the hubs that were cut and gimme ma damn full game already!!!!

**spoilers for TML*





I know there's going to be a post-campaign DLC. When Quinn is talking to Janus at the end, Quinn mentions that ''provided Jensen survives'', he'll be able to find him and recruit him into what is obviously the NSF. The way my quote is phrased, it's evidently referring to the multiple choices at the end of the game, and how one ending kills you. I speculate that there will be at the very least one more DLC that takes place after the fact, where you wrap up the loose ends, because there are very many of those.

[Locutus of BORG]

^I took from that that there would be a sequel to DXHR, rather than a post-campaign DLC.

Ever since ME2's Arrival, the idea of post-campaign DLC brings me nothing but sorrow.

[Knifegash]

There already is a sequel, it's called Deus Ex. Unless they actually go and make another prequel, which has the potential of being as confusing as the Devil May Cry series. There has to be a DLC to bridge the gap from this into DX1.

[pukster]

DLCs are basically a means of printing money.

[jeyeichkey]

And we fall for it e-v-e-r-y-t-i-m-e ;^)

[Jibbajabba]

D-Project / Bob anyone ?

[DXeXodus]

I am confidently assuming that there will be more DLC to come.

[Imp of the Perverse]

There are some obvious DLC cash grabs (DA2's item packs, and their week-after-releasing-the-main-game dlc come to mind) but it isn't all bad. The fact that most of the resources have already been produced means they can release stuff within a few months, rather than the few years it takes to make another full game. If the main game is good, I'd rather get new content sooner than later.

[gwlaw99]

I wouldn't mind more DLC do I can get them all for $10 on steam 8 months from now. Too long a wait for DX 4 to not have more DLC.

other 2 big cities + missing link + new clothes and weapons (XD) + final BIG DLC with shooting fireworks

all this stuffs playable in main story, not separately in a future GOTY edition....

it would be a miracle.

[Rockn-Roll]

Dues Ex: Human Revolution is a very excellent platform...it would be a shame to not develop another DLC for it. Every time a developer starts on a new full game they want to modify the game engine or add something that nobody else has done...and it delays the game by years sometimes. A DLC could be put together in less than 6 months with just 3 or 4 mappers, 2 or 3 graphic artists, 1 or 2 story writers, and just 1 programmer to implement some tools and perhaps a tweak here and there. That would cost...what...about 1 million dollars at the most? I'm sure Missing Link has made that much already. And, if nothing else...in this failing economy it would at least give some talented developers a job for another 6 months.
