The remake of the cel-shaded first-person shooter XIII (pronounced thirteen) for Nintendo Switch and multiple other platforms has been delayed. After locking in a 13th November release date earlier this year, the title – which originally started out on the GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC in 2003 – has now been pushed back to 2020.

Microids made the announcement over on Twitter but didn't reveal why the game had been delayed.
