Deus Ex 3 to be Powered by Tomb Raider Engine

TeamXbox is reporting that Eidos has confirmed that the upcoming Deus Ex sequel will be powered by Crystal Dynamic’s Tomb Raider engine. Unless they do some modifications, this would suggest that both PC and console platforms could be supported and that the game will probably be single-player only.

Eidos has big plans for the new installment in its esteemed Deus Ex franchise, and will be using the game engine from another of its next-gen revamps, Lara Croft Tomb Raider, to power the new game.

D’Astous explained: “This is a very important factor for us. In former positions where i worked technology was always a grey zone, a question mark. I’m relieved that here at Eidos we have two great internal engines – one from IO and one from Crystal. We chose the Crystal engine because we plan to help develop this engine more and then share it back with the rest of the company, the other Eidos studios. Having that technology from the start gives us a great advantage and foundation for our coders – there are no doubts about the approach, and we have few uncertainties. We just want to all work together on improving the same technology as we develop our game.”
