Deus Ex: Mankind Divided‘s Adam Jensen is a master of stealth. If he doesn’t want to be seen, the chances are pretty high that he’ll be able to sneak by anyone and anything unnoticed. But what if he’s captured on purpose? In the game’s next expansion, A Criminal Past, Jensen is going undercover as a prisoner, and he’s joined by a familiar face.

Taking place before the events of Mankind Divided, A Criminal Past sees Jensen searching for an undercover agent who has “gone dark.” To do this, he has to enter a high-security prison — designed to hold augmented humans — and search for the agent himself.

The expansion will also see Jensen reunite with Delara Auzenne, a psychiatrist in the main Mankind Divided storyline who Jensen routinely speaks to regarding his emotional state following dangerous missions.

Several new characters will also be introduced, and the DLC will “provide players with more insight into the lore of the Deus Ex Universe,” according to the official announcement. It’s unclear if this refers only to Jensen’s games, or if the lore will connect Mankind Divided and Human Revolution more explicitly to the earlier installments.

A Criminal Past is Mankind Divided‘s second expansion, following September’s System Rift. System Rift was relatively well received, with critics praising the way it ties together Human Revolution and Mankind Divided. Its short length was criticized, however — you can finish it in as little as two hours.

Both expansions are available as part of the $30 Deus Ex: Mankind Divided season pass, which is included in the game’s Digital Deluxe Edition. The season pass also adds additional currency, weapon packs, chipsets, and customization items.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided — A Criminal Past becomes available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on February 23.

In a company interview with CEO Yves Guillemot posted on the Ubisoft website Thursday, the executive reveals that there are remakes of Assassin's Creed games in the works, although he doesn't specify which ones.

"Players can be excited about some remakes, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we've created in the past and modernize them," he says, implying that it could pertain to games made before Odyssey. "There are worlds in some of our older Assassin's Creed games that are still extremely rich."

Surfaced patent shows what an Xbox streaming console would’ve looked like

An Xbox Series X sits next to both Series S models.

There have been a few Xbox devices that have never come to fruition, one of which was Keystone, a prototype for an affordable game streaming device you could hook up to your TV or monitor. Thanks to a surfaced patent, we've gotten an even closer look at what it would've potentially looked like.

The patent, first spotted by Windows Central, gives us a more complete view of the device. We've previously seen the Keystone in the flesh. Microsoft Gaming head Phil Spencer is known for hiding teases and interesting collectibles on the shelf in his office. In a 2022 X (formerly Twitter) post congratulating Bethesda on Fallout's 25th anniversary, you can see a small white device on the top shelf that's actually a Keystone prototype. Xbox told Digital Trends that it was a version of the device made before it decided to "refocus our efforts on a new approach.”
