Killing Progress
Square Enix is currently in the process of a three-day reveal for their new video game on Twitch. The stream, “Can’t Kill Progress“, currently shows security footage of a man inside an empty, white room, possibly a prison cell, before getting tortured for information. Nothing much about the game in question is known at this point, other than the fact that it’s being developed by a Western studio. Looking up “Project CKP” on Google leads to the website for the Community Knowledge Project, a practice that “explicitly addresses the systems and structures of inequality in which all humans and non humans live”.
The full reveal won’t come until tomorrow, but this definitely has to be a Deus Ex game, right? Square Enix has made it clear before that they’ve been working on a new game since the release of Human Revolution in 2010. Just the description of the Community Knowledge Project alone is a huge indicator: “addresses the systems and structures of inequality in which all humans and non humans live”. Human Revolution made a big deal out of the divide between supporting and opposing cybernetic augmentations. If it isn’t a sequel to Human Revolution, it’d be surprising, since everything about this is pointing towards it.
