X-MEN DESTINY
FACT SHEET
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
In X-Men Destiny, players control the fate of one of three brand-new mutant characters
forced to choose between saving humanity or ensuring its destruction. The branching
storyline, penned by acclaimed Marvel writer Mike Carey, features a deep element of
choice, allowing players to customize the path, powers and development of their
character and to decide their role in the mutant cause alongside, or against, some of
Marvel’s greatest X-Men franchise characters, such as Magneto, Cyclops, Wolverine and
Gambit. In this third-person action/RPG, X-Gene enhancements deliver a deeper level of
customization to players’ powers, with a chance for players to experience the abilities of
their favorite X-Men mutants. Gamers will evolve their mutant skills in unique ways
and engage in fast and furious combat, spectacular combo-driven attacks and rewarding
finishing moves against a variety of opponents bent on defending their beliefs.
KEY FEATURES:
Control Your Mutant’s Destiny – Throughout the game, players control the destiny and
evolution of one of three new mutants by making critical core power and core faction
decisions, which determine who will fight alongside or against them, what enemies they
will encounter and which side, X-Men or the Brotherhood of Mutants, they eventually
join.
Unleash Your Mutant Power – Players choose between three all-new characters – taking
control at a critical moment when they discover their mutant powers – then select one of
three distinct core power sets, which provide the genetic template to build upon for their
mutant powers, and, for the first time in an X-Men game, are able to combine and
customize different powers for their chosen character.
Walk In Another Mutant’s Genes – X-Genes – direct implementations of other X-Men’s’
powers – deliver a deeper level of customization to players’ powers and offer a chance
to experience the abilities of other X-Men mutants, such as Iceman’s freezing power or
Pyro’s fire power, allowing players to evolve their mutant skills in unique ways and
engage in various combat and attacks.
Your Choices Shape the Story – Players now have the power to direct the destinies of
their new mutant within the game by making morally ambiguous choices that do not
have a clear-cut right or wrong answer.
