LOS ANGELES (June 21, 2011) —
Square Enix, Inc. and Eidos-Montreal launched the
DEUS EX®: HUMAN REVOLUTION® (DXHR) QR MISSIONS App for fans

DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION QR MISSIONS. Participants must be 17-years-old or older, have an iOS device with a camera and be able to register using Facebook Connect. Participants will also have to choose their preferred gaming platform.
Once the App is installed, users can begin looking for QR Codes — both online and in the real world — in a variety of locations including marketing and public relations materials, in-store advertising, the official website and Facebook page, and more. Hints for code locations will appear on the Official Eidos-Montreal Twitter feed (
