Line 13:
* [[Big Brother Is Watching]]: Especially evident in the Prague scenes, with police and cameras monitoring for anyone (i.e. augs) deemed a threat.
* [[Can't Stop the Signal]]: The Juggernaut Collective, which is a global network of hackers, activists and anti-corruption agents.
* [[Color Motif]]: The gold/yellow/black palette from ''Human Revolution'' makes a return. This time however, everything is noticeably darker, reflecting the end of the supposed golden age. It's also mentioned that blue, a color associated with the original ''Deus Ex'' is also a prominent theme.
* [[Crapsack World]]: More openly so than in ''Human Revolution''. What once seemed like the cusp of a new golden age is becoming more and more like the messed-up world seen in the original ''[[Deus Ex]]''.
* [[Cutscene Power to the Max]]: Averted. The gameplay is stated to be such that just about everything seen in the trailers released so far is perfectly doable.
Line 24:
* [[Foreshadowing]]/[[Call Forward]]: Task Force 29 is basically a predecessor to UNATCO in the original ''[[Deus Ex]]''.
* [[Government Conspiracy]]: Adam privately suspects that Task Force 29 is really a front {{spoiler|for the Illuminati's plans}}.
* [[Grey and Gray Morality]]:
* [[Grey and Gray Morality]]:* As befitting a ''Deus Ex'' game, it's not always clear what the "right" choice is, if there is any. This is especially highlighted by Adam's conflicting duties to both Task Force 29 and the Juggernaut Collective.
** The "mechanical apartheid" on display is also shown to be filled with grey areas, especially with terrorists and radicals on both sides finding some reason to lash out at each other.
* [[History Repeats]]: New forms of segregation and racism have emerged, with augmented humans even persecuted apartheid-style.
* [[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice]]: Adam's nanoblades return from the previous game, which also double as projectile weapons this time around.
* [[Industrial Ghetto]]: Útulek Station, aka Golem City, is a futuristic take on this trope. It's also the main headquarters of the Augmented Rights Coalition.
* [[Interpol Special Agent]]: Task Force 29 is a significantly more powerful version of this trope. Eventually, such task forces would lead to UNATCO in ''Deus Ex.''
* [[Nothing Is the Same Anymore]]/[[The Unmasqued World]]: For Adam, at least. And not just because of his augmentations either. {{spoiler|As he's since become aware of the Illuminati's plans.}}
