With Ubisoft’sSkull & Bonesdelayed to a massive degree, some players have wondered when they will see something new from the company. The most prominent titles from Ubisoft, such asAssassin’s Creed, continue to gain notoriety while other games fall by the wayside. However, there is one remake coming from Ubisoft soon that will make players very happy:XIII.

Compared toUbisoft’s biggest moneymakers,XIIIis a very different sort of game. It was different from other games, both in and out of its genre. Even today there are few games like it, so with proper marketing it could make a real splash.

REALTED:Ubisoft Should Remake Splinter Cell on PS5 and Xbox Series X

The remake ofXIIIwas announced several years ago, but only now is it finally coming to fruition.XIIIis a unique first-person shooter title that was based loosely off a series of novels and was self-contained with no sequels (although it did have a cliffhanger ending. In a surprise addition tothe lineup of Ubisoft games releasing this year, theXIIIremake will launch on August 10, 2025.

Considering the recent success other companies have had with bringing back unusual shooters, this release is a good call on Ubisoft’s part.Doom Eternalhas enjoyed massive success andeveryone is learning it inside and out, so there is a market for unusual shooters. That said,XIIIis nothing like theDoomseries, and has always had more of a cult following. A cell-shaded, comic book style mystery,XIIIputs players into the shoes of a gun-slinging secret agent with amnesia.

Hopefully, this will be a chance for a new generation to experience what madeXIIIunique, as it has grown a cult following over time. While other FPS games are chasing the flashy and loud, like the upcomingProject Warlock,XIIIwill re-introduce the dedicated stealth approach to the genre. It’s also a far more story-driven FPS than other games on the market these days.

Of course, all this may be for nothing if the game does not catch on. Even when it originally released,XIIIwas largely niche, and nothing like it has appeared since. If it fades into the background a second time with this new release, odds are no one will see it again. In a world full ofconstantly updatingCall of Dutygames, it is important to remember the other things an FPS game can be. Hopefully,XIIIwill prosper from its second chance.

XIIIwill release on June 06, 2025, for PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
