City Of Heroes: XIII: Developer Diary Volume 1

The executive producer for Ubi Soft’s cel-shaded shooter kicks off our latest developer diary series.
By Julien Bares

In a year promising some major action game releases, one of the biggest on the horizon is XIII, a first-person shooter being created by Ubi Soft for both the PC and all the next-generation consoles.
