Deus Ex: Human Defiance not a game, trademark repurposed for April Fool’s

20110829deusexhr

February’s Deus Ex: Human Defiance trademark isn’t for a new game of any kind, Eidos Montreal has confirmed on the Deus Ex Facebook page. “The Human Defiance name was registered on the off-chance it we might need it, but it was decided later that it wouldn’t be used,” the post noted. The developer posted an April Fools Day trailer for a retro-style game of the same name, which you can check out through the break.

Thief allows for pacifist playthroughs

20130306_thief_2

Here’s a little blip we missed last week; in the same Eidos Montreal blog post where art director Nicolas Cantin backed off from his “less gothic, more mainstream” comments, the developer confirmed pacifist playthroughs are possible. “Players will have multiple ways to approach their objectives and each objective can be reached using Garrett’s various tools, by exploring and by playing with your environment. And yes, you can complete the game without killing anybody – Garrett is a Master Thief, not a killing machine.” Thief is expected on PC and next-generation platforms in 2014.

Thanks, Siliconera.
