"During Sony's State of Play event in September, Aspyr revealed Deus Ex Remastered, an "improved" and "better" looking version of the original, a beloved sci-fi immersive sim developed by Ion Storm and released in 2000. Almost immediately, the reaction online turned negative. People, myself included, weren't happy about all the textures being replaced with newer, higher-resolution assets. These didn't mesh well with the old models and geometry"
"Thank you to the community for your feedback following the reveal of Deus Ex Remastered. We've listened to what you said, 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. Asypry didn't provide a new release date or window. The studio behind other remasters, like 2024's Star Wars Bounty Hunter, confirmed all pre-orders would be refunded, which seems to imply the delay won't be a short one."
Deus Ex Remastered, an updated version of the 2000 sci-fi immersive sim, received strong negative reactions after its reveal. The remaster replaced original textures with higher-resolution assets that clashed with the game's existing models and geometry, producing a visually jarring result that many considered worse than the original. Aspyr announced the removal of the Feb. 5, 2026 release date, stating they listened to community feedback and will delay the launch to better meet fan expectations. Pre-orders will be refunded for the studio's other remasters and no new release window was provided. Aspyr promised future updates when ready.
