Elias Toufexis, the voice actor of Adam Jensen, appears to have said goodbye to the series for good in a poignant message posted on Reddit.
In January, following layoffs at Eidos Montreal and the reported cancellation of a new Deus Ex game that was in the early stages of development, Toufexis said he was not involved in the project and had “gone from it a long time ago.” But he didn’t seem to want this obvious feeling of disappointment to be his last word on the matter.
I want to come here and thank you for this page, for your wonderful posts over the years, and for your continued, incredibly strong support.
As you all know, Jensen is one of those characters that I have played that is near and dear to my heart. It looks like I will always be associated with him, and that suits me just fine. Alas, his story seems to be over. I’m relatively sure the canceled game wasn’t Adam Jensen’s story, so the game being canceled makes me angrier than anything else because friends at Eidos got fired. Video game companies are in a strange position right now. I hope everything works out.
Toufexis seems to be settling in pretty well these days – he’s currently starring in Star Trek: Discovery as alien villain L’ak – but it’s clear he still has a strong affection for Deus Ex and its fans.
I hope you enjoy the other works I’m lucky enough to release, but I know that whatever the character is, it won’t mean as much as Adam Jensen to many of you… and to me.
