While Warren Spector has been all abuzz recently talking about Epic Mickey, he also mentioned to Variety that he was working on other projects before launching into the latest Disney project.
The first project was a “a big, BIG fantasy game that I had been wanting to do for about 15 years," indicates Spector. "My wife and I created a world and a whole story arc for DC comics. They decided not to pick it up. I loved this world and the characters we had created.”
The next game was something of a Deus Ex successor, being a near future sci-fi game. Spector notes that he was unable to reacquire the Deus Ex rights from Eidos.
“There were and still are Deus Ex stories I would like to tell. That story is not done for me,” he noted. “[For the sci-fi game] I sort of filed the serial numbers off. Deus Ex was very much a game of the millennium.”
Eidos Montreal is currently working on Deus Ex 3, along with a sequel to another series Spector helped create, Thief 4.
