Deus Ex: Human Revolution has been out only a week, and has been met with great reception from critics and players alike. And its success lies not just in critical acclaim. We already know Deus Ex has been topping all charts. But now, recently released chart data says that Deus Ex: Human Revolution sold 656,000 units in its opening week.

The Xbox 360 version sold 348,000 units, and was the highest selling version of the game. The PS3 version sold 228,000 units, while the PC version sold 80,000.

That’s really impressive. You rarely see such high sales figures within just one week of a game’s release. We don’t know if these charts are anything to go by, but we do think high sales for as game as good as this are completely justified.

Be sure to read our Xbox 360 and PS3 version reviews, written by different authors with different takes on the game.

Eidos Montreal’s recently released action-RPG, Deus Ex: Human Revolution (which has been received very well), has swooped in and claimed the number one spot on the PC in the UK, digital sales not included.

The UK sales charts for the week are in, and guess what happened- Zumba Fitness, which had been topping the charts for so many weeks now, I’ve lost count, has finally been dethrones. Deus Ex: Human Revolution has swooped in and debuted at the No. 1 spot, pushing Zumba Fitness down to No.2.

Rugby World Cup has also done pretty well, debuting at the 3rd position.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution on the PC, it seems, will be region locked. This comes a huge surprise, as games are rarely ever region locked on the PC. Eidos says retail copies of the game will be region locked, however, digitally purchased copies will be region-free.

This region locking is because of the disc size and its limitations.

“Just to be clear to everyone the region lock is just for the retail BOX copies.. ie if you physically buy a box in the UK it will have the uk region code etc, if you buy a boxed copy in russia will be locked to russia, everywhere else is covered by a rest of world region (including poland),” am Eidos admin said on the forums.

“Due to disc size limitations, the languages had to be split onto different masters (PCs dont have universal bluray drives yet so we couldnt put all on 1 disc this is why there is so much confusion)

“Also all versions have ALL languages available. So even if you buy the English UK version, you can change the language to French, German etc whenever you want.. The size of the game meant we couldnt fit all languages onto the disc so you will just download the language pack for the game that is all..”

However, an Eidos admin soon updated on the forums (NeoSquall, via VG247), that this will not be implemented in UK/Europe, and reminds us that this will only be implemented in BOX versions of the game, not digital or console releases.

“Region-locking plan UPDATE
We’re aware of some discussion regarding the planned region-locking of boxed PC versions of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and after careful review we have decided not to implement this in the UK/Europe. Please note, this plan only related to PC boxed games, and not digital or console editions.”

Two cuts in Deus Ex: Human Revolution in Japanese regions have seen the removal of sexual organs from the game, one in a cutscene, which has a female showing off her… ah, organs. And the other an unspecified “sexual object” from the game maps.

It hasn’t been specified what the object is… a sex toy? A robot escort? We don’t know. But the game has received a CERO Z- meaning M or 18+ -in Japan.

Stay tuned for more info.

A new trailer for Deus Ex: Human Revolution, call “Classified Information” has been released. It’s a massive 5 minute long trailer, and it shows a lot of interesting gameplay footage and story tidbits. The trailer, basically, gives you a background of the game and its story and setting. It’s enough to get anybody pumped for the upcoming release.
