Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut No Longer Exclusive to Wii U

In a press release today, Square Enix confirmed that the Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut will no longer be a Wii U exclusive.

The publisher announced the cut earlier this year, promising exclusivity to Nintendo's console and outlining features which played to the strengths of the Wii U GamePad. Today, Xbox 360, PS3, PC and Mac versions were announced for release later this year.

It's an unfortunate loss for Nintendo, which in this morning's Nintendo Direct highlighted the game in a video montage demonstrating third-party support for the publisher.

"After our Director's Cut announcement we received an overwhelming response from the community asking us to bring this ultimate edition of human revolution to other platforms," said Stéphane D’Astous, General Manager of developer Eidos-Montreal in the press release. "You asked for this!"

The Wii U-specific touchscreen features Eidos-Montreal were implementing will now carry over to Microsoft's SmartGlass and the PlayStation Vita.
