A sequel to Deux Ex: Human Revolution was originally going to be made by Obsidian Entertainment, according to studio CEO Fergus Urquhart.

While Eidos Montreal ended up developing the followup to Human Revolution, Urquhart revealed on the latest episode of our monthly interview show IGN Unfiltered that Obsidian was initially going to develop the sequel, and it would have been out two years prior.

“I know that Human Revolution 2 would have been out two years before because we were originally… we were a developer that was going to do it,” he said.

We want to hear it.

Eidos Montreal’s sequel, titled Deux Ex: Mankind Divided, released in September of last year for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The game received a glowing review from IGN for its “layered, intelligent, and impeccably designed” gameplay that “rewards curiosity and creativity.”

Meanwhile, Obsidian launched a new role-playing game of its own this past November, which, according to IGN’s Tyranny review, offers a “fresh, exciting, and more manageable” take on the classic Infinity Engine RPG formula.
