One of my favorite shooters of the last generation, XIII, is getting a followup game after nearly eight years of complete silence. The comic-based conspiracy FPS turned many heads in 2003, but sales weren't spectacular and it seemed the game would end with the first.
Seems that miracles do happen after all, however, with a teaser image for a new XIII appearing on Anuman Interactive's Facebook page. According to the French text, we'll see it in November and it'll hit iOS, PC and Mac.
I am incredibly excited by this news. Despite getting mixed reactions, XIII remains one of the most absorbing first-person shooters I've ever played. While it's not going to be a major console release, I'm glad to see it return in some fashion!

Is it worth a shot?
Will be getting this for the PC then, ah! awesome cell-shaded memories.
Batman approves this groovy news.
@tonic: I respect your opinion, but you hated it that much? I felt it was a damn fine game
Damn, life can be very coincidental at times.
I've got to say that the original has got to be one of the most unique FPS games I've ever played. Brilliant story, too, except for the ending, which will hopefully be continued from in this game. That is, unless it was expanded on in the comics.
Fuck. Yeah.
I forced myself to sit through the game, which I found to be mediocre, because I'm a bit compulsive, wanted closure and I wanted to keep giving the game a chance.
And then it ended with one of the worst cliffhangers ever. "Guess what? Nothing you did mattered or resolved anything, least of all the web of intrigue. Congrats!"
I know they planned a sequel and just didn't get to make one, but it left a bad taste in my mouth. Shooting people in the head with a crossbow was fun, though.
Did anyone else quickly read the article title and automatically put FF in front of XIII?
Bah.
