Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will be released early if enough fans pre-order

Square-Enix and Eidos Montreal have announced that Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will launch on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on February 23rd.

Leading up to the game’s launch, fans will be able to take part in a new pre-order system that will unlock new content as the game’s pre-order numbers increase, all leading up to the game potentially being released four days early on February 19th.

Fans will be able to choose between multiple pieces of exclusive content from different “tiers” that will be unlocked as time goes on and more people pre-order.

Here’s a rundown of each tier, and a video explaining the process:

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

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.

Mankind Divided’s collector’s edition was also revealed alongside this announcement, which features a figure of protagonist Adam Jensen, an artbook, and steelbook case.
