Spector wanted to buy Deus Ex

News - But only Mickey on the cards for now

Warren Spector may be all about Epic Mickey for the time being, but we learn today that the veteran game designer also wanted to make a new Deus Ex game - and that he even tried to acquire the rights to the series.

"There were and still are Deus Ex stories I would like to tell. That story is not done for me," the Cut Scene blog were told by Spector. "[For the sci-fi game] I sort of filed the serial numbers off. Deus Ex' was very much a game of the millennium."

IP owners Eidos - who Spector developed the first Deus Ex for - have their own plans for the IP it would seem, and even though Spector offered to buy the rights the publisher refused.
