Deus Ex: Human Revolution Has Gone Gold

Square Enix has announced that its game Deus Ex: Human Revolution has gone gold, a critical step in the manufacturing process. That means the game is ready for mass production, where it will be reproduced, packaged, and shipped to retailers. Then consumers can purchase copies of the game when it is officially released August 23.

“We couldn’t be more excited that Deus Ex: Human Revolution has gone gold and will soon be in the hands of expectant gamers,” said Stephane D'Astous, general manager of Eidos-Montreal. “As the first release for Eidos-Montreal, it’s impossible to express how extremely proud we are of the final product and all of the hard work that went into its creation.”

In going gold, Deus Ex: Human Revolution joins the ranks of some of the most critically acclaimed games in human history. BioShock, Grand Theft Auto IV, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion are just a few of the games that have gone gold.

There's no word yet on the status of the game manuals, but it's likely that they have been edited and are heading to the printer at this point in time.
