Did they ever end up fixing that XIII remake? When it released it was a real stinker, but I heard they had another studio come in and essentially remake the remake as a free patch to people who bought the game. Not sure it ever happened, though

The remake of the original 2003 video game was announced on April 18, 2019 with PlayMagic developing the game and Microids publishing the game for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game was originally scheduled for release on November 13,[2] until it was delayed to 2020 for further development.[3] In June 2020, the game was announced to be scheduled for release on November 10, 2020 for Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.[4] In October 2020, it was announced that the port of the game for Nintendo Switch was delayed to 2021.[5]
The original plan was to remaster the game using original assets and Unity plug-ins. Unfortunately, the original source code was deemed lost and the 2003 version was running in an extremely outdated game engine. Therefore, the team had no choice but to redo the entire game from scratch, which means hiring new staff and extending the release date to remake the levels, assets, cutscenes, and animations.[6]
Due to the poor reception to the game, Microids announced in June 2022 that they had replaced PlayMagic with Tower Five as the developer, who had been working on fixing the issues from the 2020 release. Microids released the improved version on September 13, 2022, with this version given as a free update to those that bought the 2020 version
