Citing poor performances of this year's crop of titles and a desire to take more time to polish the game, is to be delayed into the 2011 financial year.

This means that the eagerly awaited reboot to Warren Spector's seminal sci-fi series will now not arrive until April 2011 at the very earliest.

Square Enix released a statement saying: "With weak 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 recognizes the reinforcement of capability in our Digital Entertainment segment as our most critical managerial issue."

It continued: "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."

Thanks Kotaku.
