Microids and PlayMagic Ltd unveil today a teaser for the remake of the cult classic XIII, the cel-shading FPS initially released in 2003. As the press release reads, XIII’s remake will be available the 13th of November 2019 for the PC and you can find below its first teaser trailer.
Based on the first five volumes of the eponymous comic book series, XIII conquered the gamers’ hearts with its unparalleled mix between a story-driven adventure, a solid gameplay and a unique artistic direction.
Declares François Coulon, Head of Production at Microids, said:
“We aim to craft the finest adventure for players and XIII is definitely in line with our publishing strategy. Revisiting this game came naturally as we felt this unique kind of story driven FPS experience was missing in today’s gaming landscape. Our goal is to bring XIII’s compelling story to a new generation of players with the best possible graphics and animations.”
Declares Giuseppe Crugliano, CEO & Creative Director at PlayMagic, added:
“The PlayMagic team is very excited for the opportunity to remake a true classic; modernizing the graphics, sound and animations while remaining faithful to the original XIII’s incredible look and feel. XIII’s gameplay mechanics are being reworked in an effort to modernize the experience in a way that encompasses the original spirit of the game. We are sure that the fans of the original game will love rediscovering one of their all time favorites while new players discover a truly iconic masterpiece in a new light.”

Would like the same treatment for the timesplitters trilogy
Absolutely! And No One Lives Forever, too.
Dayum! One of my favorite games from my childhood, always wanted to get a sequal but this is fine too!
Noooooice! Hope it’s not cancer exclusive
“PC/Mac”
I wish they’d straight up list the PC stores it’s coming to, rather than being completely ambiguous with the PC logo.
Nooo, it’s just a remake…
XIII was a great game and it’s cool to see it being remade, but its graphics still hold up nicely.
Why not made a f*king sequel. I hope they will continues the story.
Have to say…… I’m looking forward to this. Loved the original XIII.
can they modernize the shooting mechanics? They were awful. The sad thing is that the game ends on a cliffhanger, just when it got interesting it ends.

remake sounds better than a remaster. there’s no point remastering a cell shade game.
No. Stop. It doesn’t need a remake. Make a new game or gtfo. Get that console cancer remake bs off of PC and sell it to people who can’t still play the game because it isn’t possible on their system, where it belongs.
XIII was an awesome FPS…loved it! Really excited for this…let’s see if they can make something good!
