Elias Toufexis, known for his prominent work as the voice of Adam Jensen in the iconic Deus Ex series, has sparked controversy by stating that there will not be a new game in the franchise in the near future. Although he is a key part of Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Toufexis shared in a Twitter message that a return to Jensen’s universe is not expected, mentioning that “those in charge are psychopaths”. However, he clarified that his comment was made in jest and that it is surprising that they are taking so long to develop a new title in this famous series.
Toufexis is not happy with how the franchise has been treated
In an interview with PC Gamer, the actor explained that he proposed an animated series project to Eidos Montreal, highlighting his previous experience in developing animated series and suggesting that the franchise has a lot of untapped potential, but received a negative response. The situation is discouraging for Deus Ex fans who were hoping for a continuation of the saga, although Toufexis has other projects in the works.
En el ámbito de los videojuegos, Toufexis tiene un papel destacado en títulos recientes como The Outer Worlds 2, así como en el juego Hell Is Us y MindsEye. También está trabajando como director de voz para Marathon, el próximo título de Bungie, donde dará vida a los personajes Void y Rook. A pesar de un lanzamiento inicial desafiante en 2025, el equipo de desarrollo ha prometido mejoras significativas y está abierto a recibir comentarios de los jugadores. Toufexis expresó confianza en el producto final, elogiando la construcción del mundo, la narrativa y la actuación.
Con Marathon programado para su lanzamiento en marzo de 2026, aunque sin una fecha específica, los fanáticos de la saga esperan que 2027 podría ser el año que traiga de vuelta a Deus Ex. Por ahora, parece que los jugadores tendrán que esperar un poco más para regresar a ese querido universo.
