'Project CKP' by Square Enix hints at 'Deus Ex' sequel?

Square Enix' Twitter page

Eager fans are hoping that game company Square Enix will announce a new title at the end of its three-day Twitch stream. 

In an official tweet, Square Enix told fans that "Project CKP" or "Can't Kill Progress" is an interactive event streamed over the company's Twitch channel. It kicked off Monday, April 6, and will last for three days.

In the first hours of the stream, the general story has been established. The video shows a kidnapped man being placed in a dark, empty cell, and the man has no idea why he was kidnapped. Eight cameras are placed in the cell to broadcast the man's actions in real time. 

Meanwhile, there is also a countdown timer that can be seen on-screen, counting down the hours until the reveal. The countdown would also allow viewers of the event to vote at various points during the three-day interactive reveal. Apparently, the outcome of the events that would unfold and the fate of the kidnapped man would be influenced by viewers' reactions. 

During the first day, the video has been looped to show the man doing various things as the hours progress, like lying prone on the floor, passing out, cursing the captors; pressing his hands on the electrified walls, and even had the prisoner's jacket stolen by a man with a metallic arm. 

Fans who are tuning in to watch the events unfold seem to think that Square Enix will announce a new game, somewhat. They are speculating that this will be either a new "Hitman" or "Deus Ex" title, since both games deal with prisoners. As the video continues though, it seems that it is leaning more and more into a teaser for the next "Deus Ex" sequel. 

The next updates for the live Twitch stream will be on April 7 at 10 a.m. Pacific, with the countdown set for 3 p.m. and 5 p.m., respectively. The final update will be on Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. Pacific.
