Deus Ex: Human Revolution ships 2 million units
Deus Ex: Human Revolution has shipped 2 million copies across North America, Europe and PAL territories, Square Enix announced today. Although that's "shipped" and not "sold," the game is certainly no slouch in that department, having topped the UK charts since launch and the US sales chart for August.
Next up for Human Revolution is the "Missing Link" DLC, available next month. Square Enix is also certainly augmenting its development staff at Eidos Montreal to get more content out and fast-track that inevitable sequel.
