The official Facebook page of Deus Ex announces that the much talked about Human Defiance trademark refers to an actual video game and that a reveal linked to it will take place in less than 24 hours.

Publisher Square Enix trademarked the new name during February, but an association with CBS Film suggested that the franchise might be used for a movie.

After the announcement was made, some fans of the franchise speculated that the team might be preparing an April Fools' prank, but the team at Eidos Montreal has since insisted that a new game is in development and will get a number of official details.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution was one of the best video games of 2011 and a sequel will probably use the same main character and mechanics.
