Neither a remake nor a remaster: Deus Ex on Unreal Engine 5 developer cleverly sidesteps copyright issues and showcases gameplay with updated graphics

Many years later, the original Deus Ex is still appealing, but some are no longer willing to accept such graphics. Various enthusiasts are trying to refresh the game

The developer of the DXU24 project, which allows running Deus Ex on the modern Unreal Engine 5, has returned with new footage. He put on an extensive demonstration of various systems in action and walked through several locations.

From a technical standpoint, the DXU24 project cannot be called a remake or remaster of Deus Ex in the conventional sense; in this case, no copyrighted assets are being recreated.

The target game (Deus Ex) is interpreted and adapted to run on Unreal Engine 5 in real time. The developer emphasizes that a legitimate copy of the target game is required to run it.
