For nylig udkom et stort remake af skydespillet XIII uden videre fanfare, og der er vist en grund til at udvikleren Playmagic og udgiver Microids ikke udsendte anmeldelseseksemplarer forinden, for det blev hurtigt tydeligt at spillet led under et ton af tekniske fejl.
Det anerkender Playmagic og Microids nu i et længere blogindlæg, hvor de blandt andet skriver følgende:
"The highly anticipated remake of XIII, awaited by many fans, came out earlier this week. Unfortunately, players expectations have not been met by the launch version and we hear loud and clear the legitimate criticism and disappointment. First and foremost, we would like to offer our most sincere apologies for the game's technical issues. In its present state, XIII does not meet our quality standards and we fully understand players' frustrations. The pandemic has impacted the game's production on many levels. Pivoting to home working for the teams has added unexpected delays in the development schedule and the QA process. We hoped we would be able to provide a Day One patch fixing all the issues but the development of this update is taking more time than expected."
Det lader til at udvikleren er i fuld gang med at forsøge at fikse spillets mange fejl.
