Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which had been planned for an early 2011 launch, will now be released at some point in the 12-months beginning April 2011.

“With weak sales performance of console game titles that have been newly released during the current fiscal year as well as harsh market feedback regarding a key title, the Group recognises the reinforcement of development capability in our Digital Entertainment segment as our most critical managerial issue,” said Square Enix in a statement.

“We therefore have decided to spend additional time to further polish our upcoming game, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, resulting in a shift in release timing from our prior plan of the current fiscal year to next fiscal year.”

The delay comes only months after Eidos Montreal art director Jean Jacques-Belletete told VideoGamer.com that the game would definitely meet is planned February 2011 release date.

“Yeah, yeah definitely,” said Belletete. “For all sorts of reasons I’m not going to mention.”

How much extra time the game is given hasn’t been specified.
