'XIII' (ALL) Remake Developer PlayMagic Opens New Studio In Kyiv

by Rainier on March 5, 2020 @ 12:00 a.m. PST

Based on the first five volumes of the eponymous comic book series, XIII mixes a story-driven adventure, a solid gameplay and a unique cel-shaded artistic direction.

Play as «Thirteen», a talented soldier who lost his memory and has been accused of killing the President of the United States. You wake up injured and amnesic on Brighton Beach with the only clue being a small key and a mysterious tattoo « XIII » next to your clavicle.

It’s now your job to search for answers in the 34 levels of the solo campaign.

Don’t worry, you will find the appropriate weapon arsenal along the way.

PlayMagic, the game development studio behind the upcoming Remake of Ubisoft’s XIII that will be published by French publisher Microïds, is proud to announce the opening of a new Studio in Kyiv that will expand the development capacity and skills of the Malta Studio, which recently reached an headcount of 45 full time professionals.

PlayMagic Kyiv will be the work for hire arm of the group with the Malta Studio moving on to original title development soon.

The company just created a series of managerial positions for the new Studio and is on the hunt for the best talent in the region to join the group and help build the team to start working on some new upcoming Console, PC and VR projects.

“I am very excited about the opening of our second studio in a region with such an incredible pool of talent.” said Giuseppe Crugliano, PlayMagic group’s CEO & Creative Director. “We have always believed in the diversification of our business strategy and a company like PlayMagic needs to continue operating in the work for hire segment but at the same time moving significant resources on to the development of original titles that can be both license based or on PlayMagic’s original IPs”. We invite all potential candidates to apply to PlayMagic Kyiv by emailing a CV and a cover letter with “Kyiv Studio” specified in the subject line. 

More information about this remake will be revealed soon... Stay tuned!

XIII’s remake will be available, both in physical and in digital editions, for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC and Mac in 2020.
