Other platforms still on track for November
Microids has announced that the remake of classic first-person shooter XIII will not meet its originally announced release date🍌 on Switch. While the PS4, PC, and Xbox One editions are all still set to launch🍒 on November 10, the Switch release has been pushed back to 2021.
Playmatic’s XIII is a remake of the 2003 Xbox and PS2 title, based on the 1980s Belgian comic book of the same name. It follows the hazardous and violent journey of a nameless and amnesiac man wanted for the killing of the U.S. President. Teaming with a mysterious female mercenary named Jones, “XIII” (from the identifying tattoo on his shoulder) must uncover the truth behind the assassination, his role within it, and a shadowy organization known as “Mongoose.”
Microids also released a new trailer, showing off the arsenal of lead-flingers that XIII and Jones will utilize in their ballistic quest to stay alive long enough to bring down Mongoose and discover the facts behind our anti-hero’s origins. The remake will feature all of the content from the original title, as well as its iconic cel-shaded look, which has been redesigned to make the most of modern-day visuals.
