Deus Ex: Mankind Divided lets you play with your eyes on PC

If looks could kill…. Well, with a new announcement for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, PC players will get to experience the game with new eye tracking software.

Tobii and Square Enix Montreal have announced a partnership that will allow you to move, shoot, take cover and more when the game launches later this month. A special bundle will include a copy of the game for free with the purchase of the eye tracking software as well. Andre Vu, the Exec. Brand Director at Eidos, spoke about the new partnership by saying

“With the Deus Ex franchise being a window to the future, we always try to provide innovative, ground-breaking experiences for our players. The numerous Tobii eye tracking features built into the game will provide PC gamers an extra layer of immersion that blends perfectly with the futuristic universe depicted in Deus Ex.”

Some of the features include the following

  • Aim at Gaze – Look at the target to take aim, then press a button and fire. This feature let players take out enemies using their natural gaze and will even work when locking the tesla gun for all-out mayhem.
  • Extended View– Look to the edge of the screen and the game’s camera will pan – giving players a wider field of view with just a glance. The natural eye movement will allow further immersion into the game’s environment and let players control what they want to see – just as in real life.
  • Icarus Dash at gaze – Simply look in the direction you want Adam to move in – even vertically. This will allow players you use the controls in a more fluid manner.
  • Interact at gaze – This feature lets players move effortlessly using the natural gaze to intuitively interact with objects. Look at an object, press a button and automatically move towards it before picking it up.
  • Clean UI- This feature lets player access UI info only when needed, giving them deeper immersion into the game’s environment. Look and they’ll appear. Look away, they’ll become nearly transparent. The screen is always covered fully in the game’s world, with the vital stats just a glance away. Helps you embrace the game’s environment. Helps players keep track of what you need to –when they need to.
  • Cover at Gaze – This feature lets players find refuge when the heat is on just by gazing across the environment – highlighting places you can hide behind. (Not available on August 23, this feature will be available in an upcoming update.)

The bundle will cost you $139.99, which isn't bad when you consider it will come with the game. You can see a breakdown of the new features in the video above, and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided releases later this month on August 23rd. What do you think of these new features? Let us know below.
