Here is what Jason Schreier has to say from New York (October 11, 2010):

 

X-Men: Destiny will let you experience all the joy and pain of living life as a mutant. Previous videogames based on Marvel Comics’ long-running superhero series have often been relegated to simple beat’ em-ups that don’t convey the published works’ emotional depth. X-Men: Destiny, developed by Silicon Knights could be the role-playing game that changes all that.

The upcoming game will place the player in the role of a young mutant as he discovers and learns how to deal with his burgeoning powers, with a heavy emphasis on the choices he makes.

“It’s about finding out that your powers aren’t a dream come true,” said the game’s writer Mike Carey at New York Comic Con on Saturday. “There will be people who will hate you, people who will fear you. It’ll be about the process of finding a community, a family.”

If the recently released teaser trailer for the game is any indication, players may find that community with many of the series’ mainstay characters like Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm and Magneto.  “One of our goals in putting this game together was to make it feel as if you’re really in the X-Men universe, meeting the characters you know and love,” Carey said.

A representative of Activision, the game’s publisher, said at its Comic Con booth that the game would be released in 2011. The company did not say which platforms it would be released on.

Based on what we’ve seen and heard so far, it seems like players will be able to choose from a number of mutant abilities at the outset, which will directly affect how the game plays out.
