After Square Enix released the trailer promoting Deus Ex: Human Revolution back in June, gamers have been clamoring for more information on the prequel with a pedigree. The footage shown in the trailer was phenomenal, and the presentation at E3 confirmed that the trailer was not just a “dramatization” of the actual game (I’m looking at you DC Universe and Star Wars: The Old Republic).
However, new information on Eidos Montreal’s cyberpunk title had been rather sparse of late. But thanks to Steam’s page for the game, we recently learned that the target date for release is in February 2011. Steam also confirmed some features you can expect to see in the game:
It will be interesting to see the different augmentations that will available. Some of the old standbys such as stealth, strength, jumping, enhanced sight, defense, and hacking have already been confirmed. Whether the “more than 50” number is made up of distinct abilities or simply includes levels of the various augmentations is still unknown.
Square Enix has also released some new impressive screenshots for gamers to pour over. You’ll see some location shots, the framing of a conversation, Jensen taking out some alleged bad guys, and some of the options you’ll have when hacking computers.
