XIII Multiplayer Details
September 10, 2003

Ubisoft announced the details concerning the multiplayer aspects of its upcoming multiplatform title XIII. While each version will have classic Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag modes, the individual versions will have exclusive modes only available to that format. 

The Xbox version of XIII offers an offline four-player split screen mode as well as online support for up to eight players. Perhaps the most exciting feature in the Xbox version of XIII is the exclusive “Sabotage” mode. This mode splits players into two different teams competing to take control of specific points on the map. One team’s role is to defend these points, while the other team’s role is to sabotage these points. The defending team has to hold out until the timer runs out, while the attacking team wins by completing all of its objectives. This mode shows promise since it follows the proven formula used by the Xbox Live hit Return to Castle Wolfenstein (Team-based objective multiplayer modes).

XIII is scheduled for a Fall 2003 release.
