Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Live-Action Trailer Focuses on Segregation of Augmented People


The live-action trailer for the Cyberpunk video game Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, titled "The Mechanical Apartheid", compels us with its themes that resonate the issues that we're facing in the real world now. The mechanical augments we have now are not as advanced in the game, but you know what I mean. This video is so moving that I actually thought that they've made a full-length feature film for it --and I think it would be amazing if they do. Watch the trailer below: 

Synopsis:

In 2027, mechanically-augmented people all over the world suffered from extreme psychotic delusions, lost control of themselves, and started attacking people. Millions died. Hundreds of thousands more were injured and maimed. 
In the wake of this global catastrophe, society has become divided by hatred, prejudice, and fear, with many countries now enacting harsh laws. The most notable of these laws is the highly controversial “Human Restoration Act”, aimed at isolating “Augs” and keeping them away from “Naturals”. 

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will be released for Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC on August 24.
