Update: Confirmed. Information can be found below original article.
Mankind Divided will take place two years after Human Revolution took place. Jensen will have new augmentations, like the ability to remote hack electronic objects, fire his nano blade from a distance, and surround himself with a nanoshield. The game will be "open ended" and will allow players to "carve their own path."

Yesterday, Square Enix started their three-day "interactive experience" to reveal their new game. The experience is codenamed CKP, which stands for Can't Kill Progress, it focuses on a livestream of a man being held in a cell. There had been theories that CKP was created to reveal a new Deus Ex game, but a leak might have ruined the surprise.
It's being reported by a Russian site that the game Square Enix will be revealing is Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
Dues Ex: Mankind Divided will, if true, focus on how the future society from the game was divided into castes; the augmented and those that are not augmented. The plot for Mankind Divided has not been revealed, but apparently the game won't be porting in saves from previous games in the series.
It is being said that choices made early on in the game will effect gameplay later on in Mankind Divided.
Adam Jensen, our Deus Ex protagonist, will be called back into action to sort things out with Victor Marchenko – an officer in the Augmented Rights Coalition.
The game will let you choose between two different playstyles; stealth and combat. Jensen will have new attacks: his armblade will shoot out blades as similar to a crossbow, he will be able to blind enemies with a smokescreen and while the smokescreen is up, Jensen will be able to use x-ray vision to shoot enemies.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, if true, is set to release on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
Spoiler: It's reported that Farid Malik will be dead.

If anything though, Square shouldn't disregard Human Revolution too much.
EDIT: Game Informer revealed the cover and focus of their next issue to be Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
