It's been a while since we last saw anything from this upcoming X-men game.
X-Men: Destiny is the latest X-men title coming up from Activision & Silicon Knights. It is currently aiming for a September release.
From the few we've seen so far (for a game that is coming up so soon) it seems to be sort of similar to the previous RPG-ified X-Men Legends games. Both in gameplay and customization.
The story is being written by Mike Carey (!), Marvel writer of the X-Men: Legacy comic book series.
You'll play as a new mutant who joins the X-Men and will have to make choices which will evolve the story. Kinda like Mass Effect I'm guessing. The focus of the plot is on "choices", as opposed to a more traditional linear type of gameplay. Thus the title :P
The story will take place in San Francisco, were a division between humans and mutants is only growing.
The game begins at a peace rally being held in memory of the deceased Professor X, where the player chooses from one of three mutant characters to play as, who have been originally created for the game. The game allows for the player to decide which mutants become their allies and enemies through dialogues decided during the course of the story.
Here's the new trailer:
What d'you think?
Not sure if I'm really interested, but could end up a fun game!
