  • News Cult PS2 Comic Book FPS XIII Looks Much Improved on PS5

    And running at 60fps

    The original XIII for PS2 wasn’t exactly an outstanding shooter, but it’s etched into the memories of many due to its distinctive cel-shaded artstyle. When French firm Microids brought it back for PS4, then, there was some nostalgic excitement from those who remembered the original. Unfortunately,

  • News The Abysmal XIII Remake Gets a Huge Overhaul in September

    60fps on PS5, online multiplayer

    The complete and utter disaster that was the XIII remake released back in November 2020 is being overhauled by a new developer. Instead of Darguad, publisher Microids has entrusted French team Tower Five with changing the art style and implementing a number of new features. After more than a year's worth of work, the...

  • News Publisher of Poor XIII Remake Seems to Miss the Point with Apology Post

    Focused on bugs rather than art style

    The PlayStation 4 remake of XIII very quietly released on PlayStation 4 last week, and to say it was met with an overwhelming amount of negativity would probably be an understatement. The classic comic book art style is nowhere to be seen, instead looking like a Fortnite rip-off, and bugs and glitches have been...

  • News The XIII PS4 Remake Looks Like a Massive Disaster

    What happened to the art style?

    Raise your hand if you forgot that the PlayStation 4 remake of XIII was coming out this week. Now, raise your hand if you forgot it even existed. We're willing to bet a large chunk of you would look pretty silly right now if your boss caught you on webcam via a Zoom call. Yes, the PS4 remake of XIII launched...

  • News XIII Remake Seemingly Launches This November on PS4

    Finally

    It's kind of crazy to think that the PlayStation 4 remake of XIII was originally scheduled to launch all the way back in November 2019. It was delayed into this year and now, six months into 2020, we now know when we'll be able to get our hands on it. This PlayStation 2 classic is coming back on 10th November 2020 if listings for a limited...

    Cel-shaded shooter needs to reload

    In case you missed it, the stylish PlayStation 2 first person shooter XIII is getting a remake on modern hardware. Published by Microids and developed by PlayMagic, the updated take on the cel-shaded action title was initially due for release on 13th November 2019. However, this has unfortunately been pushed back...

  • News Cel-Shaded Shooter XIII Returns 13th November on PS4

    Lucky number

    We can’t help but feel old when we consider there's an entire generation of gamers who haven’t seen PlayStation 2 copies of XIII in a GAME bargain bin. But with the cel-shaded shooter now being over 15 years old, there will be kids sitting their GCSEs this summer who are younger than the artistically inspired FPS. For those of you...

About The Game

WHO ARE YOU, REALLY?

XIII is a remake of the cult first-person action game that was initially released in 2003. You play as “XIII”, a man without an identity, in a solo campaign with numerous twists and turns. Inspired by the eponymous graphic novel, the game features a completely reinvented and unique cel-shading design. In XIII, players can also take part in fierce multi-player fights.

The country remains in a state of shock following the assassination of President Sheridan. You wake up, wounded and with amnesia, on a deserted beach on the east coast. The only clues as to your identity are a tattoo of the number XIII near your collarbone and a locker key. Even though your memory is failing, you discover that you have the reflexes of a highly trained professional fighter. You set off in search of your past, discovering that you played a role in the murder of the President of the United States of America, and revealing the most astounding conspiracy ever hatched in the country's history.
