Deus EX: Human Revolution komt wat later

Square Enix heeft vandaag bekend gemaakt dat de menselijke revolutie voor Deus Ex wat later van start zal gaan. Want de game heeft de nodige vertraging opgelopen en zal in het fiscale jaar van 2011 uit komen, nadeel is dat deze tot 2012 door loopt. Hopelijk komt er van uitstel geen afstel.

Square Enix has decided to delay the release of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the ambitious cyberpunk shooter in development at Eidos Montréal. Originally scheduled for the first quarter of 2011, the Deus Ex launch has been pushed into the Japanese publisher's next fiscal year, which runs from April 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012. According to a corporate announcement, the delay will allow Eidos more time to "further polish" the project.

The demand for greater quality isn't unprompted, as the news came alongside a revision to the company's consolidated results forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011. Forecast net sales were lowered from 160 billion yen to 130 billion, and operating income is expected to drop from 20 billion yen to 8 billion. Square Enix blamed weak sales performance from console games and "harsh market feedback" regarding a key title.
