The development team at Square Enix working on the Deus Ex franchise announces that The Fall, which received a teaser video yesterday, is a complete title that will be launched on mobile and tablet devices.

The game takes place in 2027, using the same premise as Human Revolution, which was launched on the PC in late 2011.

The Fall will use a new character called Ben Saxon, a former member of the British Special Air Service.

He has augmentations and wants to find out the truth about a drug conspiracy.

The team states, “Betrayed by his private military employers, the Tyrants, not only is his own life at risk, but for all augmented humans, time is running out.”

Square Enix says that Deus Ex: The Fall will include all elements of the franchise, with exploration and combat at the core of the experience.
