The main character, Adam Jensen, is a private security officer with a company that specializes in these augmentations. He witnesses a chilling attack on his company, and "the conspiracy begins." Adam Jensen will be voiced by
Elias Toufexis.
Five metropolises are included and
Detroit,

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is primarily a first person game, but will feature a contextual third person viewpoint when using the cover system or certain augmentations.
