Each Twelve Minutes ending will unlock a different achievement, something to keep in mind if you're an achievement hunter. The reason for the omission of this fourth ending is a lack of time. This corroborates some rumors which have circulated since the game's development, which suggest that originally Deus Ex would have included a second "MJ12 Loyalist" path to completion, which was later scrapped. Some evidence of this ending still persists in the final game, with Page at one point pleading with JC by offering him total control of Europe (this would apparently have been a serious option had the last ending been included).This is mentioned around 49:20 in the YouTube video. This fourth ending would allow JC to side with Bob Page and Majestic-12, presumably letting Page merge with Helios and killing Everett. In an hour-long narrated playthrough of Deus Ex with Sheldon Pacotti and Chris Norden, Warren Spector noted how he originally wanted a fourth ending to be possible in the game.However, communication and globalization were eventually able to return, as seen in Invisible War. Invisible War also establishes that JC's destruction of the telecommunications infrastructure resulted in the Collapse. The canonicity of all three endings was also confirmed by Invisible War's game director Harvey Smith, who felt that the combination of endings was more interesting than any of the three endings alone. JC and Helios later formed ApostleCorp, which opposed the Illuminati, as seen in Invisible War. Additionally, it is also stated in the guide that the Illuminati lost all means of controlling nations and peoples and that JC and Paul Denton were powerless to protect governments from warlords and from the damage already done by the MJ-12 shadow government, indicating that the Illuminati were unable to consolidate power following the destruction of Area 51. Although JC did merge with the Helios AI, the merge was not fully successful, as JC fell into a coma-like state. Nonetheless, JC's actions did not fully result in the intended consequences. Deus Ex: Invisible War: Prima's Official Strategy Guide The official guide for Invisible War confirms that JC Denton performed the actions of all three endings: " Better to reign in hell, than serve in heaven."Īccording to the events of Deus Ex: Invisible War, all three endings are at least partially canonical.
