Story

Who are you?

The country is still in shock after President Sheridan’s assassination.

You wake up injured and with amnesia on the shore of an east coast beach. The only clues about your identity are the number XIII tattooed on your collarbone and the key to a locker. Despite the memory loss, you realize not everything has been forgotten as you seem to have amazing reflexes comparable to a well-trained government agent. You will soon be on your way to uncover your past, discovering in the process your role in the murder of the US president and unveiling the most astonishing conspiracy in the country’s history.

Will you find out who you really are?

And the role you’ve played in this massive conspiracy?

The remake of XIII will launch on November 10th 
on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC/Mac!
