Learn All About Deus Ex’s Breach Mode Right Here!

Square Enix has officially detailed a new and innovative game mode for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. This new game mode is called Breach, and a new gameplay video showcasing the mode in action was released.  You can check it out in the player below.

Breach mode offers an arcade style to the gameplay of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided by giving players a connected puzzle shooter experience. In Breach, gamers take the role of a Ripper, a hacker in the year 2029, with the objective to obtain and sell classified corporate data by infiltrating secure servers and using funds to acquire upgrades to skills and user arsenals.

Gamers who play in Breach will earn XP, credits and booster packs for the increasing difficulty of the game. In addition, Breach is a live game mode with new challenges and features that will have updates released by the developers on a regular basis. Players will be able to challenge their friends and players from around the world in this new mode.
