Those noting the similarities between Interactive's new stealth-based and the series will feel vindicated with news today that Snowblind actually began life as Deus Ex: Clan Wars. The so-called "Deus Ex Action Game" of previous Eidos reports actually "began to take a direction of its own," an insider revealed to GameSpot.

Huge environments in a war-torn Asian state will see players leading an NPC squad in the single player game, with a variety of driveable vehicles and more promised. (the new home of Lara Croft) are developing for the ands Xbox, and a new engine is being created to allow for highly realistic physics and detailed locales.

Multiplayer will also be key to the game, and we'll bring you more as we get it.
