Deus Ex 3/Eidos Hiring

Gamasutra reports Eidos is making a new Deus Ex game. It’s still at the proof of concept phase, and is being developed by Eidos’s new studio in Montreal. A teaser trailer is available here.  For those who are interested, the Montreal studio presently has about 80 people, and wants to be at 350 by 2009. Deus Ex (The first one) was a groundbreaking game that established new heights in what’s possible for interactive storytelling. Unfortunately the second game tended more to the “Let’s make pretty graphics” side of things and ended up creating an experience that was both frustrating and confusing. Hopefully the third game will combine the best of both its predeccesors.

Who’s currently at that studio? I would certainly expect that both Harvey Smith and Warren Spector are working on other projects at the moment, but I wonder if anyone from the original Deus Ex games have moved up north?
