The people behind the remake of Pand Twelfth have apologized for the state of the game.
A remake of XIII, a client-classic 2003 cell-shaded first-person shooter, came out this week and it didn’t take long before it saw “extremely negative” user review ratings on Steam.

Footage of the game shows several bugs in the launch version, such as missing animations that let you abandon an enemy and then fall to the floor, or still clipping on visible systems models while they still seem Is.

In one Joint statement, Developer Playmagic and publisher Microdes acknowledged that the critically acclaimed remake did not live up to expectations, blaming the coronavirus epidemic for development problems.
“Unfortunately, the players’ expectations are not met with the launch version and we listen aloud and clear up legitimate criticism and frustration,” he said.
“First of all, we sincerely apologize for the technical issues of the game. In its current state, XIII does not meet our quality standards and we fully understand the disappointment of the players. The epidemic has affected game production on many levels. Focusing on homework for the teams, combined with sudden delays in the development program and QA process we hope we will be able to provide a day one patch fixing all the issues but the development of this update is taking longer than expected Is. “
