The website will feature screenshots and other media.

Ubi Soft Entertainment launched the XIII community Web site - the official website for XIII information and assets. XIII is the stylish first-person shooter thriller featuring a government conspiracy and a unique combination of action and stealth gameplay. XIII will be available on all game consoles and the PC in October 2003. Please visit: http://www.whoisXIII.com for more information.

The XIII Website is the one-stop information source for all things XIII. The community site features the new cinematic trailer, The Death Sentence, Part 4. In classic XIII style, this movie introduces players to XIII's notorious enemy, Mongoose -- the mysterious and deadly member of the XX (pronounced twenty) bent on killing XIII. Players find out who Mongoose is and why he wants XIII dead. XIII's conspiracy plot is filled with enough twists and turns to keep players' heads spinning throughout the game. In XIII, players must evade Mongoose and his henchman from numerous perilous situations. The only way to stop Mongoose is to recover XIII's memory, prove his innocence and stop a worldwide government conspiracy in the process.

Additionally, gameplay movies showcasing everything from XIII's special effects, weapons and boss enemies are also featured on the site. Through exclusive dossiers, players discover additional details to the XIII storyline with in-depth information on the following:

· XIII backstory - learn about the history of XIII, find out where the conspiracy all started

· Characters - determine who you can trust, meet the cast of characters, both heroes and enemies, that make up the XIII world

· Weapons - learn about the 15 weapons and 18 objects as weapons with primary and alternate fires

· Locations - study all the locations, including military bases, FBI prisons and exotic islands, with detailed maps and information

The XIII Web site is the best source for XIII fans wanting to get an edge when the game launches in October. Look out for additional content updates and new information, including new trailers, demos, and pre-order information, every month through to the game's launch.
