The remake of the cel-shaded first-person shooter XIII (pronounced thirteen) for Nintendo Switch and multiple other platforms has been delayed. After locking in a 13th November release date earlier this year, the title – which originally started out on the GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC in 2003 – has now been pushed back to 2020.
Microids made the announcement over on Twitter but didn't reveal why the game had been delayed.
Beneath the same tweet, it reconfirmed the game was a remake and said more information (including a possible physical release) would be shared very soon.
For more details, take a look at our previous post and view the teaser trailer below:

Still looks cool, keeping it on the watch list
Such a great game when it originally came out. Definitely will get once it drops.
Im not interested, but any developer willing to delay a game is a good dev in my eyes. Taking pay cuts and working harder against your schedule to please costumers is always honorable.
This may sound counter intuitive, but it actually delights me to hear that a game I’m interested in has been delayed. It means they’re likely not going to release a broken piece of trash that can only be made barely playable through patches. When a game releases in a broken state, they’ve usually lost me altogether, even if they do fix it later on.
I’m on board with this. Loved this game back when it originally came out and beat it multiple times. Hoping it doesn’t get canned and also for a sequel to wrap up this excellent story.
I have this game on gamecube and I'm sorry to say I have never even opened it. Over the years I have thought about giving it a go but just never had the interest. The fact that they are re making it tells me I missed out on a gem.
Yeap definitely looking forward to it in 2020, that's okay though I am too busy with multiple awesome titles this year as it is so the later the better.
No problem. We have already so many games out now...
I've got way more games than time as it is.
@PBandSmelly "honorable"? That's not how employment works. You can't feed your kids with honour.
@Sabroni
You also cannot sell your customers entertainment products containing "necessary budgeting decisions."
No I’m actually pretty sure it’s pronounced ‘Kseeeeee!’
I never could finish the game on Gamecube cause of a glitch that kinda broke the game. It made me sad as I really liked the game. So looking forward to playing the remake glitchfree!
@Pod Yes they did. Read the Twitter replies, someone explicitly asked Microids if it was a reboot or remake. They said remake.
@Shufty
My bad.
I see now also that the teaser indeed lists a copyright notice for the original Ubisoft game in the small print.
Which does lead me to raise several questions, but that's a different thing.
I remember renting this on Xbox. Forgot to take it back and almost had to go to court due to the late fees. I don't like this game but its not the games fault...
Rather have time splitters. Liked the style of xiii back in the day, but the gameplay was clunky and outdated.
What if they delayed it to take advantage of next gen hardware. How well will the switch port manage?
Want want want want want want want want want want
Hopefully The Hunt will be in the game.
I remember this coming out and never got around to playing it, I guess this will be my chance to finally try it ^_^
News to me is that XIII is being remade!
Really are people that ignorant that you have to tell them how to speak/say a roman numeral? Pft. Go back to school. Get a real education... not intended as demeaning, just a realist.
