It’s not often in games you can ghost run through without having to kill anyone. Let’s face it, some baddies deserve to die. They just do. In Deus Ex Human Revolution, the game had had an achievement which gamers could unlock where you needed to complete Deus Ex: Human Revolution without anyone dying by your hand. This though didn’t extend to boss fights.

But come Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, the ‘pacifist’ approach will extend even to bosses, so technically you could complete the game by subduing your enemy rather than killing them. And that’s quite the feat seeing Adam Jensen will be facing off with the goddamn Illuminati. Executive game director Jean-François Dugas gave the confirmation over Twitter, claiming the gamer will have the ability to complete the game ghostable, without fatality.

And while you sadists may be asking what’s the point, chances are subduing the enemy probably will be even that more tasking that killing them.

Happy ghost running Deus Ex fans!

The year is now 2029, and the golden era of augmentations is over. Mechanically augmented humans have been deemed outcasts and segregated from the rest of society. Crime and acts of terror serve as a thin veil to cover up an overarching conspiracy aimed at controlling the future of mankind…
