Deus Ex: Human Revolution coming in August

By Ryan Fleming March 9, 2011

Deus Ex: Human Revolution will be released on OnLive, PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on August 23! Huzah! That’s it, nothing more to see here. Move along, move along.

Following an earlier delay, which pushed the release back from its original March date until sometime in Q2 or Q3, industry revenue projections were changed, Edios’ financial expectations were altered and the hearts of gamers everywhere were slightly broken. Thankfully the delay is not going to be a huge one, as Eidos Montreal has officially confirmed an August launch.

The title takes place in 2027, and acts as a prequel to the original Deus Ex game. In the future, robotic augmentation is all the rage, and after a security officer is seriously injured in a protest bombing, he wakes up to find that he is half machine, half-superhero. He then crosses five cities of the future putting foot to ass where needed.

Expect to hear a lot more about this game in June when E3 begins.

Best PlayStation Plus Deals: Save on Essential, Plus and Premium

Best PS Plus deals

While the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 are excellent consoles, especially for those who don't want to invest in a gaming PC, you tend to lose out on a lot if you don't have one of Sony's online subscriptions. You see, a PlayStation Plus (PS Plus) subscription offers, is access to online multiplayer, and without it, you can't connect to online servers and play with other folks, which is a bit frustrating. Luckily, a PS Plus membership does offer some additional features, such as free games every month and access to some older PS games, all of which depend on which of the three tiers you subscribe to: Essential, Extra, and Premium.
What is PlayStation Plus?
Along with online multiplayer and other in-game network features, a PlayStation Plus Essential membership grants you access to exclusive discounts and other promotions. Perhaps the most notable benefit of PlayStation Plus is that every month, Sony gives subscribers one PlayStation 5 and two PlayStation 4 games that are free to download. You have one month to add these free PlayStation Plus games to your library.

After that, these titles are yours to keep so long as you have an active PlayStation Plus subscription. The free-to-download games are generally pretty good (they are often some of the best PS4 games that have been out for a little while), and these alone justify the cost of PS Plus even for people who don't do a lot of online gaming.
