Final Fantasy XIV’s director Naoko Yoshida announced the release of the game’s next major release in the funniest way possible.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided one of two Epic Games Store freebies next week
07.03.2024 - 18:53 / eurogamer.net / Square Enix / Adam Jensen
Epic has revealed the next titles it's giving away on the Epic Games Store, with Deux Ex: Mankind Divided and The Bridge getting the freebie treatment from Thursday, 14th March.
Deux Ex: Mankind Divided is the fifth instalment in Square Enix's stealthy, shooty sci-fi series and a direct sequel to 2012's Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Once again cyber-augmented protagonist Adam Jensen returns, and the ensuing adventure was deemed to be a «smart, handsome and weighty addition to the stealth-action genre» in Eurogamer's review.
As for The Bridge, it's a gravity shifting puzzle game created by Ty Taylor — and described as «Isaac Newton meets M. C. Escher» — that challenges players to manoeuvre the world and reach the exit each stage. Eurogamer quite liked this one on release in 2013, even if it sometimes felt like «the taster course for a more satisfying meal kept frustratingly off the menu.»

As for this week, Astro Duel 2 — developer Wild Rooster's brand-new sci-fi action romp, which combines top-down dogfights and platforming — is available for free.

Final Fantasy XIV Director Wants to Increase Game’s Difficulty
Content in Final Fantasy XIV is seemingly endless. The MMO includes something for everyone, whether you’re a more casual, story-based player or someone eager to find glory by challenging legendarily difficult Extreme Trials. While this balance has always seemed to strike a sweet spot with Warriors of Light, XIV‘s director Naoki Yoshida believes the title’s lack of overall challenge leaves much to be desired.
