'Deus Ex Go,' 'Hitman Sniper' Inspired Games Relaunch

• Deus Ex Go, Hitman Sniper and Tomb Raider Reloaded are now available again on mobile devices
• These titles have been revived under the management of Deca Games
• This represents a significant reversal for several games that were previously discontinued

In 2022, we reported on the unfortunate news about Studio Onoma, formerly known as Square Enix Montreal, and the removal of many of their popular titles from digital stores. Deus Ex Go, Lara Croft Go, Hitman Sniper and several other games faced discontinuation after Embracer acquired the company.

Surprisingly, these celebrated titles along with numerous others have now reappeared on mobile platforms. The returning games include Tomb Raider Reloaded and Lara Croft: Relic Run, which were originally removed just a few years ago.

This development marks an unexpected and positive revival for these beloved games. The catalog is now being managed by Deca Games, a German developer also owned by Embracer that appears to specialize in maintaining popular titles. The company has previously demonstrated this commitment by taking over support for Star Trek Online from Cryptic Studios.

The Go series represented a unique approach to mobile gaming, transforming major franchises into innovative puzzle experiences. By adapting these properties into puzzle formats, Square Enix Montreal successfully brought franchises to mobile devices that otherwise might not have found a natural home on the platform.

For supporters of game preservation, this represents a significant achievement. It ensures that players who have maintained these games on their devices can continue to enjoy them, while also making these classic titles accessible to new audiences. For those affected by the recent Embracer-related discontinuations, this revival demonstrates that delisted games can indeed make successful comebacks.
