X-Men Destiny Details

By Mark


Silicon Knights (the studio behind previous titleToo Human have finally released some details on their upcoming game X-Men Destiny Official Xbox Magazine.Previously we’ve only seen two rather short trailers that promise players control over their ‘destiny’ and leaving us with assumptions that it may be an action RPG affair.

The details found in the magazine further push home the fact that the developers want choice to play an important role as they want to place an emphasis on the “tough decisions that an average X-Man has to make”. Not something one thinks about everyday right? The game will be set during a period were the ‘anti mutant’ movement is at an all time high and crime rates are through the roof, in addition to this the X-Men will have suffered a great loss just to add more problems to the fray.

Among the details one of the more interesting ones was the fact that players will be controlling the offspring of a ‘human zealot’ that claims mutants are ‘nature’s greatest mistake’ and will be given a choice between three different characters. What’s cool is that each of these three have been officially added into the X-Men canon. Getting over to the gameplay side players will use what’s known as ‘X-Genes’ to modify their abilities and ‘decision moments’ will be just about everywhere.

You can also expect to meet some familiar faces along the way such as Surge, Quicksilver, Gambit (really hope it’s the comic gambit and not that fool from the Wolverine film) and Magneto, no release date is solidly set yet but when there is we’ll let you know
