The prequel Deus Ex series from Eidos Montréal, which includes 2011?s Human Revolution and 2016?s Mankind Divided, is an interesting beast. Deus Ex: HR received critical acclaim and sold well, while the second entry failed to reach the same heights. There?s no shortage of theories about what went wrong with Mankind Divided. However, the one thing that undoubtedly went right was the return of Elias Toufexis? Adam Jensen. Shockingly enough, this nearly wasn?t the case. Eidos initially planned to develop a sequel to Human Revolution without Jensen at the forefront.
Toufexis teased as much during an interview with VG247, though specifics weren?t divulged. When speaking of Jensen?s surprising rise to game character stardom, thanks to the ?I never asked for this? phrase that?s left an indelible mark, Toufexis addressed his involvement in the sequel. After years passed following Human Revolution?s launch, the actor said he wasn?t sure if he?d ever be given the opportunity to return. According to him, his call to return felt surprising. Apparently, Jensen?s inclusion in the sequel was not originally on the cards.
