XIII - Merrick and Rosso join the cast!

Ubi Soft Entertainment, one of the world's top game publishers, rounded out its AAA cast of talent for its highly anticipated action-shooter, XIII, by signing hit comedians and Nova radio presenters Merrick Watts and Tim Ross AKA Merrick & Rosso. XIII (pronounced 'Thirteen') is an epic, conspiracy-driven thriller set in a highly stylized graphic-novel world and is scheduled to release on all game consoles as well as the PC, in late 2003. "Merrick & Rosso will lend their digital likeness to XIII, appearing in the game via a graphical style known as cel-shading. Their characters will not only resemble Merrick & Rosso but appear in a unique 'pop art' style similar to a comic book. Merrick & Rosso will appear as part of the enemy forces trying to stop the lead character XIII, and will also be playable characters in XIII's exciting online and offline multiplayer modes."
