The final major publisher to present at this year's E3 is the Japanese Square Enix, who since 2009 have owned the UK-based Square Enix Europe, formerly known as Eidos, along with all their intellectual properties. Among these properties is the Deus Ex franchise, the latest installment of which, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, was first revealed back in April. Eidos Montreal manager David Anfossi and lead writer Mary DeMarle came on stage near the end of the conference to present the game's latest trailer, which they described as an "in-game" trailer, but well, see for yourself:


Uh, I guess you can spot some gameplay elements in there, in between the story cutscenes. Hopefully we'll get to see something more substantial later on. The game is set to be released early next year.

Meanwhile, the Japanese part of Square Enix is reaffirming its dedication to its traditional JRPG business. At the end of the conference, company president Yosuke Matsuda announced the founding of a new studio in Japan dedicated entirely to JRPGs, with the appropriate name of "Tokyo RPG Factory". I guess this is the ultimate conclusion of Square Enix's dramatic announcement from last March. Good for them.
