DAVID DUCHOVNY SIGNS ON AS LEAD ROLE IN HIGHLY ANTICIPATED VIDEOGAME - XIII

Duchovny Takes On Role of Secret Agent with Complete Amnesia

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - July 14, 2003 - Ubi Soft Entertainment, one of the world's top game publishers, rounded out its AAA cast of voice talent for its highly anticipated action-shooter, XIII, by signing David Duchovny as its title character. XIII 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 Fall 2003.

"XIII isn't like any videogame I have ever seen - it plays like a suspenseful movie with a conspiracy-ridden storyline filled with enough twists and turns to keep everyone guessing," said Duchovny. "Players are in for a lot of surprises with this game - things are never what they seem, making for good drama and a great game."

XIII is a stylish, first-person shooter thriller featuring a conspiracy of epic proportions. David Duchovny takes on the role of XIII, a secret agent with complete amnesia who must discover clues behind his true identity. Avoiding pursuit by the FBI, who accuse him of assassinating the president, and a mysterious group called the Twenty are just two of XIII's challenges; he must also uncover sinister plots against the U.S. government from its highest offices. Duchovny joins actress/musician Eve, starring as Major Jones, and Adam West, as General Carrington, in the cast.

No stranger to the themes of government conspiracy, Duchovny starred in the hit television series about government cover-ups and conspiracy theories, The X-Files. Duchovny won a Golden Globe award for Best Actor in a Drama Series for his work on The X-Files. He also appeared in many hit motion pictures, including EVOLUTION, Return to Me, and Zoolander. Duchovny is currently shooting Connie & Carla Do L.A. opposite Nia Vardalos and Toni Collette.
