Updated versions for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S were released in September 2022.
[1] The remake of XIII was announced on April 18, 2019, with PlayMagic developing the game and Microids publishing it for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One.
Unfortunately, the original source code was deemed lost and the 2003 version was running in an extremely outdated game engine.
[6] Due to the poor reception to the game, Microids announced in June 2022 that they had replaced PlayMagic with Tower Five as the developer, who had been working on fixing the issues from the 2020 release.
[7][8][9][10] A lot of criticism were aimed towards the remake's unnecessary changes from the original, such as the art style and the weapon limit, as well as the game's numerous technical and audio issues.
