Microids and PlayMagic Studios have announced a remake of the cult classic shooter XIII, released in 2003 on PC, PlayStation 2, Gamecube and Xbox.
Story XIII is based on the first five chapters of the comic of the same name. Players take on the role of Thirteen, a talented soldier who lost his memory and was framed for the assassination of the President of the United States. Waking up wounded on Brighton Beach with a small key and an XIII tattoo next to his collarbone, the hero must find answers to his questions. The shooter won the hearts of gamers with a combination of story-driven adventure, peppy gameplay and artistic production.
"We're trying to create the best adventure for players, and XIII is definitely in line with our publishing strategy," said FranΓ§ois Coulon, Director of Products at Microids. βWe came to revisit this game because we felt that this unique type of story-driven first-person shooter was missing from today's gaming landscape. Our goal is to bring the compelling story of XIII to a new generation of gamers with the best possible graphics and animation."
βThe PlayMagic team is thrilled to be able to remake a true classic; modernize graphics, sound and animation while staying true to the incredible look and feel of the original XIII,β said PlayMagic CEO Guiseppe Crugliano. - The game mechanics of XIII have been reworked in an attempt to modernize the experience in a way that captures the spirit of the original game. We're confident that fans of the original game will enjoy rediscovering one of their favorite titles, while new players will discover a truly iconic masterpiece in a new light."
The XIII Remake will release on November 13, 2019 on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
