PayPalAfter revealing the Deus Ex Remastered back in September, Aspyr faced a fair amount of backlash on the style of it and now it has been delayed. There's no date being shared for when it might release now.
They posted on Steam and across social media to say:
Thank you to the community for your feedback following the reveal of Deus Ex Remastered.
We've listened to what you had to say, and in order to better meet fan expectations and deliver the best possible experience for players, Deus Ex Remastered will no longer launch on Feb. 5, 2026.
We look forward to sharing more updates with you when the time comes.
All existing preorders will be fully refunded. Thank you again for your patience and support.
When we hear any more about a new date, we'll let you know. That's if it doesn't get cancelled.
Hopefully they'll be able to bring it up to a standard that Deus Ex fans will love, as it would be great to see it done properly and bring new players into the Deus Ex universe with it. Perhaps they need to take a look at what Nightdive Studios have been doing with their many highly successful updates of older games.

Quoting: hardpenguinOoooh, GamingOnLinux has emojis now?!Yep, the comments box and SQL database was upgraded a long time ago to actually support it. But only just had the time to replace and code in an emoji selector that launched last night 🐧👍

Quoting: LinasThe style was fine. Also, you can just play the original, if you prefer that. Some people just need to complain about everything.Consumerism. The 'remaster' looks genuinely worse than the original game from the year 2000. Also it costs (more) money, of course people will be critical.
Statements like these are one of the reasons why we'll never get game as good as Deus Ex again.
This is positive news, you'll now get a better product due to the feedback.

Quoting: PyrateStatements like these are one of the reasons why we'll never get game as good as Deus Ex again.Ehh... come on now; you know that's a wild exaggeration. Big studios shy away from im-sims because they've never been profitable enough for them. Deus Ex itself could come out only at the absolute tail end of the crazy experimental phase of 90s gaming, under John Romero himself as publisher.

The only aspyr game I've played is the TR1-3, games I have very fond nostalgia for
And while it was passable, it still looked odd to me especially the dynamic shadows around lara croft would move very rapid/unnaturally
These things need fine attention to detail, and nightdive have set a high bar in that regard
That's not to say nightdive are perfect, I certainly noticed ai path-finding issues from time to time on doom 1+2 but they certainly put alot more TLC into their remasters then aspyr
