In a Q&A session with fans, an Eidos Montreal spokesperson revealed new information on an upcoming DLC release for Deus Ex: Human Revolution, entitled The Missing Link.

The questions were posed and answered on the official Deus Ex Tumblr page. Here's some of the juiciest tidbits:

Who are the new characters and will anyone from The Icarus Effect play a role in The Missing Link?

“The new characters are Netanya Keitner and Pieter Burke. Both work for Belltower Associates. More info on them soon!
And while it is not essential in any way to have read The Icarus Effect, it is certainly a good idea to do so not only because the DLC has subtle references to it, but also because it’s a great novel, period.”

Will the DLC have Achievements?

“Yes, the DLC will have 250 achievement points/10 trophies associated with it. Trophy/achievement whores be warned!”

Will The Missing Link DLC cost us anything? Also at what point in the game are we allowed to play it [i.e what city hub]?

“The Missing Link will be paid downloadable content. We will reveal the price a bit later! And you can play the DLC from any point in the game.”

Will The Missing Link be playable straight from the main menu, or will it only be triggered at THAT point in the story? (You know the one.) Will people without saves before that point just have to play through your wonderful game again? Also, can we expect any new weapons?

“Most of the tools at your disposal will be from the main game. We do encourage you, however to try different approaches. The Missing Link is about a fresh start for Adam. New augs, new weapons, new situation as the underdog. Since it is shorter than the main game, THIS is the time to experiment! Have fun… there’s only the weight of [REDACTED] on your shoulders!”
