Square Enix and Eidos Montreal have confirmed that they'll officially release Deus Ex: Mankind Divided on February 23, worldwide. However, thanks to the clever Augment Your Pre-Order system, the companies are willing to launch the game four days earlier, if fans make enough pre-orders.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided was presented to the world earlier this year and promises to continue the intense story seen in Human Revolution, bringing back protagonist Adam Jensen, while adding even more adventures, role-playing game mechanics, and other improvements.

Mankind Divided launches this February

The game got some interesting videos and screenshots in recent months, and now the two companies behind it have presented to the world the actual release date for Mankind Divided. The new Deus Ex title is set to debut on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on February 23.

However, if fans show enough interest in the game and commit to actual pre-orders and pre-purchases, Square Enix and Eidos Montreal are ready to release Deus Ex: Mankind Divided four days earlier, meaning a February 19 debut for the cyberpunk role-playing game.

The actual system, called Augment Your Pre-Order, allows fans to unlock different tiers of rewards. At each tier, fans can choose one of several rewards. These include Cover Agent packs, an extra in-game mission, the soundtrack, digital artbook, comic book, or even a novella.

"In the spirit of player choice, which is at the heart of Deus Ex, we’ve put together a special program called 'Augment your pre-order.' It will let you choose the digital pre-order bonuses you want to get for your Day One edition of the game, selected from five different tiers which will unlock progressively," the studio says on the PS blog.

Those who don't want to choose between these items can go for the Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Collector's Edition, which includes a limited edition steelbook, a 48-page artbook, as well as a 9-inch Adam Jensen figurine.
