Deus Ex: Mankind Divided release date and dynamic pre-order bonuses announced
Square Enix has announced Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will be released early next year, but in the meantime, fans can take part in a special pre-order campaign that we've never seen before.
Square Enix has announced Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will launch globally on February 23, 2016 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
A unique pre-order campaign for the game has also been announced called “Augment Your Pre-Order.” The campaign features tiers of pre-order bonuses that will unlock as more copies of the game are reserved worldwide and in select countries. Fans will have the ability to choose their pre-order bonus as each tier becomes unlocked with the final tier allowing us to play the game four days prior to its official launch.
Square Enix has outlined what kind of pre-order bonuses we can expect from the Augment Your Pre-Order campaign, which you can check out for yourself below. The company has also released a trailer highlighting the campaign, which you can also view below.
This is the first time we’ve heard of a pre-order campaign like this, and we’re all for it. Having the pre-orders of other players affect my game is a brilliant way to sell more pre-orders of a particular game, although we’re curious how likely it will be to reach the final tier that will unlock the game early.
TIER 1 – ONE ITEM PER PRE-ORDER (UNLOCKED FOR EVERYONE ON AUG. 31)
Choose between three Starter Packs that cater to stealth, aggressive or nostalgic players.
- Intruder Pack - Provides a custom-skinned version of Adam Jensen's trench coat and pistol with a silencer, laser sight, recoil and accuracy upgrades. Other bonuses include two EMP grenades, five packs of 10MM pistol ammo, 1000 credits and a Praxis point for early augmentations.
- Enforcer Pack - Includes a custom-skinned version of Adam Jensen's combat armor and combat rifle with a holosight, reload and capacity upgrades. Players will also receive two HE grenades, five packs of 5.56MM combat rifle ammo, 1000 credits and a Praxis Point for early augmentations
- Classic Pack - Grants access to Adam Jensen's iconic combat armor, trench coat and revolver from Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Players will also receive an extra pack of revolver Ammo.
TIER 2 – ONE ITEM PER PRE-ORDER
Pick between one of two bonuses that further immerse players into the game world – a digital art book that shows the aesthetic of the game, or a digital OST sampler with six tracks from award winning composer Michael McCann.
TIER 3 – AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE
Unlock the “Desperate Measures” pre-order mission in which Adam returns to the epicenter of the Ruzicka Train Station explosion and must rely on his augmentations and covert operative skills to unveil the true culprit responsible for the bombing.
TIER 4 – ONE ITEM PER PRE-ORDER
Get an in-depth look at the Deus Ex universe with a digital comic book that dives deeper into the game’s global conspiracies, or with a novella that follows iconic characters from Deus Ex: Human Revolution with new and unknown details on their lives.
TIER 5 – AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE
For the first time in the franchise’s history, if players meet this tier, the game will release four days before the official release date.

Day 1 for me, that is some crazy pre order stuff I give them credit for trying to be creative, still I am sure they will get shit on for locking out content.
I am not sure why pre order schemes don't say "all the pre order content is time locked"? This way you would not piss off anyone. Of course this is a incentive to buy at full price but I think it be worth it and more might do pre orders if they added that clause.
Eh who knows. -

This pressure to buy before we even see the goods. We have no idea if it's shit. I mean it probably won't be, but we don't know and we have been burned by preorders before. It also somehow cheapifies it somewhat to me where the product itself is somehow lessened if you don't have all the extra crap.
