The Deus Ex franchise has turned 15, with the release of the very first Deus Ex game landing for PC more than a decade ago.
The series of cyberpunk-themed first person action RPG video games started back in June 2000 and will have seen four instalments to the series with the upcoming release of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, which is expected to hit shelves early in 2016.
