Enigmatic Deus Ex Universe App Available Now
Alongside the reveal of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided yesterday and the first trailer today, another piece of the puzzle has arrived. There’s a new iOS app that seems to be marketing focus, but also contains some enigmas.
We reached out to Square Enix for more information about it, but the publisher told us that fans will need to figure it out. You’ll likely want a Square Enix account to access some of the materials, and once you have one you can use the scanner feature.
There are no instructions. You simply point the triangle reticle at things and watch as little lights show up. The “Unlocks” section of the menu suggests that there’s something hidden here (music, screenshots, and making-of information), but we haven’t found just what yet.
You can download Deus Ex Universe from the App Store and Google Play store now, for free.
Our Take
As a fan of the Deus Ex franchise, I’m curious about what secrets this app holds. However, I don’t have the time to fiddle with it aimlessly. I trust the Internet hive mind to help guide us toward the puzzle’s solutions.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
