System Rift

By Alex Burns

Eidos Montreal and Square Enix have reavled the first story DLC for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided titled System Rift. We seriously enjoyed the new entry into the long running cyberpunk franchise and can't wait for even more espionage action in an augmented future!

In Deus Ex: Mankind Divided – System Rift, you will re-unite with Frank Pritchard, Adam’s friend and former colleague at Sarif Industries, and assist him in hunting down information on the mysterious Santeau Group. Desperate to get more information, Pritchard targets one of the most secure data banks ever created – the Palisade Blade. In agreeing to help, Adam may also be able to uncover hints as to who the illuminati really are.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided – System Rift will be out on September 23th on all platforms for £9.59 (Xbox One)/£9.49 (PlayStation 4 & PC). The DLC is included with the Season Pass, which was part of the Digital Deluxe Edition and can now be purchased separately for £29.99; the entire Season Pass content is also comprised of another story DLC, A Criminal Past, due to be available in early 2017.

The Season Pass content is as follows:

• Two new story DLC’s – “System Rift” and “A Criminal Past”.
• The “Assault” and “Tactical” packs, which include various weapons and items.
• 4 Praxis Kits.
• 5000 Credits.
• 1000 Weapon Parts.
• 5 Booster Packs and 20 Chipsets for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided – Breach.

The year is 2029, two years after the events of Human Revolution and the "Aug Incident"—an event in which mechanically augmented humans became uncontrollable and lethally violent. Unbeknownst to the public, the affected augmented received implanted technology designed to control them by the shadowy Illuminati, which is abused by a rogue member of the group to discredit augmentations completely. The Illuminati successfully conceal the truth behind rumors and disinformation, while the augmented are now outcasts from normal humans in an era of "mechanical apartheid".

The player character is Adam Jensen, an augmented former private security officer now working with a special Interpol unit to capture a terrorist group of augmented humans. However, Jensen also secretly works for the Juggernaut Collective, a hacker group helping him to confront the Illuminati.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is available to purchase now at all good retailers.
