Ubisoft’s GameCube shooter XIII is getting a remake on Switch

Back in 2003, Ubisoft developed XIII for GameCube and other platforms. The first-person shooter was based on the 1984 Belgian graphic novel series of the same name. 16 years later, it’s making a big return.

Microids announced today that it is developing a remake of XIII. Details are sparse at the moment, but a release date has already been set: November 13.

Here’s a brief introduction:

XIII is a First Person Shooter where you play as «Thirteen», a talented soldier who lost his memory and has been accused of killing the President of the United States. You first wake up injured and amnesic on Brighton Beach with the only clue being a small key and a mysterious tattoo « XIII » next to your clavicle. It’s now your job to search for answers through a 34 levels solo campaign. Don’t worry, you will find the appropriate weapon arsenal along the way. With questions not missing, neither are the bullets!
