Deus Ex: Human Revolution Confirmed For Wii U

"Coming Soon"


ORIGINAL STORY: It's looking increasingly likely that an updated version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution is destined to appear on Wii U; Amazon has become the latest source to suggest a Director's Cut of the game is headed to Nintendo's console.

A listing on the retail site claims the game will be coming to North America on May 7 for $49.99, with the Wii U GamePad being used to explore Jensen's 'Neural Hub'.

The product description explains, "Tap into the Wii U's GamePad true potential: Adam Jensen's newest augmentation, the Neural Hub, offers an immersive and empowering experience, right at the tips of your fingers." It also states that this version of the game will enjoy a "multitude of improvements, features and additional content."

While Square Enix is listed as publisher for the game, no developer is mentioned. A strong candidate for this though is Australian studio Straight Right, who handled the porting of Mass Effect 3 to Nintendo's console. Last year, company boss Tom Crago explained the developer was working "on another big game in a well known franchise that will be released in 2013," published by Square Enix.

At this stage, it's pretty much guaranteed that this is the real deal. Last week we noticed an updated version of the game had been rated by the Australian Ratings Board and now that Amazon has official box art, it seems extremely unlikely that Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut isn't a real thing.

We reached out to Square Enix for comment on all of the above but were told the company doesn't comment on rumour and speculation.
