Patch 1.6 – MAINCORE is Live
Who would have thought that a small mod made as a birthday present for Harry’s brother would grow to what Revision has become?! Today we are celebrating the 5th anniversary since the release of Deus Ex: Revision 1.0 after several years (and iterations) of development and testing.
The idea of Revision has always been to bring something new for veterans that got tired of the original game, while keeping the story of the original game intact and adding additional flavor to the Deus Ex universe.
We are really happy that the mod has generally been well received by all of you. Even though main development on the mod is done, it’s our baby and something we care for. We will keep the light on for as long as possible to fix and improve the experience for all of you.
Without further ado, here are the changes for Revision 1.6.
Happy anniversary!
