Deus Ex: Mankind Divided – which ending of Human Revolution is canon? [SPOILERS]
During the interview with the creators of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided we asked them which of the four endings of Human Revolution was adopted as canon in the plot of the sequel. The answer is: all of them, in a sense. CAUTION: article contains plot spoilers!
Most people waiting for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided are probably wondering right now what will happen to the players’ choices from Deus Ex: Human Revolution, as the first chapter of Adam Jensen’s adventures offered four different endings, but the sequel doesn’t allow us to import our saved game. We’ve mentioned the topic during our recent visit at Eidos Montreal. To our question how exactly will the ending of the first game affect Mankind Divided, the game’s executive drector – Jean-Francois Dugas – responded that, in fact, all of the game’s endings can be considered canon:
„When you think about it, there are only three people who know what really happened [in the finale of Human Revolution]: Eliza Cassan, Adam Jensen and the person with the controller who plays the game. Therefore, in the world of Mankind Divided there are rumors, there are beliefs and questions, there are people who think they know the truth – it’s all perverted (…) but ultimately nobody knows what happened. Apart from that, there are two years between the games, so probably Adam Jensen went though some things in the meantime.”
