After being delisted in late 2022 following the closure of Studio Onoma (formerly Square Enix Montreal), fan-favorite mobile games like Deus Ex Go and Hitman Sniper are making a comeback. These titles, along with others, are now back on the App Store and Google Play, thanks to DECA Games, a subsidiary of Embracer Group.

The Revival of Classic Mobile Titles
In November 2022, Embracer Group announced the shutdown of several mobile games developed by Studio Onoma, including Deus Ex Go, Hitman Sniper: The Shadows, Arena Battle Champions, and Space Invaders: Hidden Heroes. These games were removed from digital storefronts on December 1, 2022, and became unplayable after January 4, 2023 .
However, in a surprising turn of events, DECA Games has taken over the management of these titles, bringing them back to mobile platforms. DECA Games, known for maintaining and revitalizing older games, is part of Embracer Group’s strategy to preserve and support fan-favorite titles.

What This Means for Mobile Gamers
The return of Deus Ex Go and Hitman Sniper offers mobile gamers the opportunity to revisit these acclaimed titles. Deus Ex Go is a turn-based puzzle game that translates the stealth and strategy of the Deus Ex series into a mobile format. Hitman Sniper provides a first-person sniper experience, allowing players to take on contracts and eliminate targets with precision.
These games are now available for download on both iOS and Android devices. Players can expect the same engaging gameplay that made these titles popular, with potential updates and support from DECA Games to ensure a smooth experience.

Looking Ahead
DECA Games’ initiative to revive these titles reflects a growing trend in the gaming industry to preserve and maintain access to classic games. By bringing back Deus Ex Go, Hitman Sniper, and potentially other titles, DECA Games is catering to both nostalgic players and new audiences discovering these games for the first time.
