It’s worth noting that **Eidos** has already been through a difficult time since becoming part of the **Embracer Group**. For nearly two years, the studio was working on the next game in the **Deus Ex** franchise, but the project was shelved in early 2024 amid the financial crisis facing **Embracer**. Additionally, **Eidos** is assisting **Playground Games** with the development of the reboot of **Fable**, while also working on another unnamed title based on a new intellectual property, details of which are yet to be revealed.
