Nixxes Co-Developing Deus Ex: Human Revolution for PC

Shacknews provides us with a tidbit from an upcoming interview with Jean-François Dugas, in which the game director reveals that because Eidos Montreal does not have the manpower, it partnered up with a Dutch software developer for the PC port of Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

When asked whether or not the PC version was developed in-house, Dugas told Shack: “No. Well, it was done in-house, but with a partnership.” According to Dugas, Eidos Montreal will utilize the services of Netherlands-based developer Nixxes Software BV to bring Human Revolution to PC gamers this August.

For a number of years, Nixxes has been the go-to team for Eidos’ multi-platform release calendar. Most recently, Nixxes helped deliver the PS3 and PC version of Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, a “full featured PC port” of Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, and porting the PS3 and PC versions of Tomb Raider Underworld. Ties to Eidos with Nixxes goes back as far as bringing Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver to the Dreamcast.

Getting in extra manpower always sounds like a good idea, though I’m unfamiliar with the work of Nixxes. Any of our readers play any of those ports on PC?
