GN Version 5.0

The XIII remake was announced for Switch quite awhile ago, and things went quiet shortly after the reveal. It looks like all has been going well though, as we now know the game is launching on Nov. 10th, 2020. Along with the standard edition, there will be a limited edition that includes a copy of the game, metal case, three art cards, and the “Golden XIII Weapons” in-game skin pack.

There will be a new trailer for XIII later today. While we wait, check out a recap on the game below.

XIII is the remake of the cult first-person action game initially released in 2003. You play as “XIII,” a man with no identity, through a solo campaign with numerous plot twists. Inspired by the eponymous comic book, the game proposes a completely reinvented cel-shaded design. XIII will also offer the possibility of launching into brutal multiplayer confrontations.

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.
