Adam Jensen is in Sarif Industries’ Detroit headquarters taking care of security preparations for the company’s forthcoming presence at a National Science Board hearing to discuss the need for augmentation technology regulation.

Mankind Divided is set in 2029 in the Czech Republic capital Prague, two years after the events of Human Revolution. Adam Jensen returns as the protagonist, working with an international coalition to halt a rising tide of terrorist attacks.

The story begins when Garrett is paired with his former apprentice, Erin, who both ended up accepting the same job from their contact Basso. On their way there, Garrett steals Erin’s claw without her noticing, because she usually uses it to kill guards when not necessary. They arrive at their job’s location, Baron Northcrest’s manor, and find a ritual taking place.
