Too Human dev making new X-Men game

Too Human and Eternal Darkness creator Silicon Knights is the developer behind X-Men: Destiny.

The game is shrouded in mystery, although more information is expected over the next few days,

All we know is it'll ship on "multiple consoles" next autumn. Mike Carey, the writer of comics The Unwritten, Hellblazer, and X-Men: Legacy, will pen Destiny's storyline.

Silicon Knights' last game was 2008 Xbox 360 exclusive Too Human, which had been in development for a decade. Eurogamer awarded the action game 6/10 in 2008.

In 2002 Silicon Knights released superb GameCube title Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, which Tom awarded 9/10.

Several months ago Silicon Knights received a grant for nearly $4 million from the Canadian government to help make a "top tier" title.

"In our industry, you have to be very careful never to announce anything until the right time. We can only say it's a next generation title and a high production value game," SK boss Dennis Dyack said at the time. Is X-Men: Destiny the game he was on about?

Silicon Knights' X-Men: Destiny - first details
"Tough decisions" and customisable mutants in new game

The first details on Silicon Knights' (Too Human) X-Men Destiny have arrived, via the latest Official Xbox Magazine UK.

Details on the Activision title have been scarce up until now, bar two short trailers, packed with promises but light on the details.

According to OXM's four-page preview, the Eternal Darkness developer is aiming to place a greater focus on the "tough decisions that an average X-Man has to make".

This is exciting for fans, since the game will apparently take place at a time when anti-mutant sentiment is at an all time high, hate crimes are rampant and the X-Men have recently suffered a devastating loss, all of which paves the way for some potentially interesting scenarios.

Players will take control of the child of a "human zealot" who considers mutants to be "nature's greatest mistake", reveals OXM, and have a choice out of three different candidates, each of which have been officially integrated into the X-Men cannon.

Unsurprisingly, X-Men: Destiny will be packed full of recognisable faces including Surge, Quicksilver, Gambit and Magneto.

Meanwhile X-Genes allow players to modify the powers of their own mutant by collecting the genes of other mutants, and "decision moments" are ripe throughout the game, says OXM.

The first X-Men Destiny screens have appeared online, via this YouTube video.

Details on the Activision title first appeared last week via Official Xbox Magazine, and apparently the Eternal Darkness developer is aiming to focus on the "tough decisions that an average X-Man has to make".

In the game, players will take control of the child of a "human zealot" who considers mutants to be "nature's greatest mistake".

Unsurprisingly, X-Men: Destiny will be packed full of recognisable faces including Surge, Quicksilver, Gambit and Magneto.
