New ‘XIII’ Remake Trailer Unveiled; November 10 Release Date Announced

Published

on

Publisher Microids and developer PlayMagic have announced alongside a new gameplay trailer that the remake of XIII will launch for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC on November 10. In addition, the game will also be receiving a limited edition variant will include a copy of the game, a Steelbook case, and three art cards. Pre-orders will also include the “Golden XIII Weapons” in-game skin pack.

A remake of the 2003 cult first-person shooter, you play as “XIII,” a man with no identity. The country is still in shock after the assassination of President Sheridan. You wake up, amnesiac and wounded, on a deserted beach on the east coast. The only clues about your identity are Roman numeral “XIII” tattooed near your collarbone and a bank deposit key.

Although your memory escapes you, you discover that you have the reflexes of a perfectly trained professional fighter. You set out in search of your past, discovering that you have participated in the death of the President of the United States and revealing the most unheard-of conspiracy ever devised in the entire history of the country.

Meanwhile, the “classic” version of XIII is now available on Steam.
