XIII’s Remake is Getting Remade 

A different developer is updating the remake 
by Joe Wilcock on July 02, 2022   



After overwhelmingly negative reviews and poor public reception, new XIII developers are updating the remake on September 13th to give the game a much-needed facelift. PlayMagic botched the 2020 remake of the cult classic and has since been removed from the project. Enter Tower Five, a French development team tasked with steering the remake back on course. 

Publisher, Microids, took to XIII’s steam page to give fans news of the update but not before they apologised for the 2020 remake:
 

“We are fully aware and terribly sorry that the initial launch of XIII Remake on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC did not reach players’ expected quality standards. 

A bit more than a year ago we took the decision to hire the studio Tower Five to finish the development of the game. Tower Five worked with us in the past, notably on the great port of Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders on Nintendo Switch.

We really wanted to take the time to fix the game and offer owners of XIII Remake a free update paying the best possible tribute to the original game we all love.”

- Stéphane Longeard, CEO Microids


On September 13th “owners of the game will receive a free update and enjoy the game as intended. The development studio reworked the entire game from the Art Direction to the AI and added numerous technical improvements." 

It will be available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC and Switch:
 

“The Nintendo Switch version of the game will of course benefit from all the work done to improve the game as well as the multiplayer mode, which will mark the end of the game’s development. 

We can’t wait for players to put their hands on this improved version of the game and (re)discover the classic adventures of Agent XIII, as soon as it’s released after the Summer.”

- Microids
