We here at GN liked
Deus Ex: Human Revolution pretty well, so the news that there will be DLC for it this October probably has us collectively pretty excited. Called
The Missing Link, it follows Adam Jensen's exploits during a period of the story (I won't spoil it) were he is off the radar for three days.
The Missing Link will unveil new layers to the conspiracy (that I thought was undercooked a bit and could use some more layers), "sprawling" new environments (no spoilers, but sprawling is the
last word I'd use for such an environment), brand-new characters, and a chance to completely respec Adam's set of augs.
If you want to learn more, and don't mind spoilers, by all means, follow the jump.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SQUARE ENIX ANNOUNCES DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION

The DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION conspiracy grows deeper in The Missing Link. During lead character Adam Jensen’s quest for the truth in DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION, he mysteriously vanishes for three days. Where was he? What did he find out? The Missing Link reveals it all.
"We are very excited for DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION fans to be able to further develop Adam’s journey in the game with The Missing Link DLC," said David Anfossi, producer of DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION at Eidos-Montreal. "Gamers will be able to experience a vulnerable side of Adam like never before, which gives the overall game a whole new dimension. The Missing Link propels players into compelling gameplay, beginning with Adam being temporarily stripped of his use of augmentations; new, visually stunning environments; and the continuation of DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION’s conspiracy-rich story.”
After being tortured by Belltower agents and having his augmentations disabled, Adam Jensen must rely solely on his basic capabilities to escape from a freighter, destined for an unknown location. While fighting for his survival on the ship, he uncovers another layer to the conspiracy that he never would have suspected. As Adam, gamers will befriend new, mysterious allies and fight ruthless enemies to discover what was happening in the shadows during the events of DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION!
