Long-rumoured now, publisher Square-Enix has finally confirmed that Deus Ex: Human Revolution will receive a Director's Cut version for Wii U.

The new version will be a co-development between original studio Eidos Montreal and Straight Right, who also developed the Wii U edition of Mass Effect 3. Where Deus Ex: Human Revolution differs though is that it looks like there will be quite a few significant changes for the Wii version.

Most notably for anyone who experienced the original 2011 game is the overhauling of the boss fights. Whereas most of Human Revolution pushed stealth and hacking, many criticised the game's boss fights for being, in contrast, overly-unfair fire-fights. The developers are promising that in the Wii U version, all bosses can now be defeated without firing a single bullet.

Meanwhile, the game's AI will be an improved version of what was found in the 2011 version. Eidos Montreal has explained that they continued to work on improving the AI after the original 2011 release for the Missing Link downloadable expansion, and these improvements will be present throughout the Wii U version.

Every bit of post-game DLC will also be in the Wii U version from day one, and will indeed be slotted in to fit seamlessly into the main game.

The graphics too will be an improvement over the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions; the extra Wii U disc space allowing for sharper visuals, a new fog system, and smoother shadows. Anti-aliasing that wasn't in the 2011 console versions will also be present.

And it goes without saying that the GamePad will offer all sorts of leverage for the game's neat Augmentation and hacking features.

All this comes from the Eurogamer scoop on the game's announcement, so be sure to give it a read for the full breakdown of improvements.

The game is currently down to release "soon", but Amazon US have recently put up a listing for the game to release in May.
