Destiny

In place of Professor X, Cyclops and Emma Frost have taken charge of what remains of the X-Men, and Mystique heads the remaining members of the Brotherhood of Mutants while she waits for Magneto to return. The player ventures through the game earning allegiances with either the X-Men or the Brotherhood, and attempting to discover who set the spark of the new looming war.

Players will meet and fight alongside a large number of characters, as well as being able to obtain powers and costumes from them, including but not limited to Quicksilver, Emma Frost, Cyclops, Iceman, Pyro, Nightcrawler, Mystique, Toad, and others. The new characters are Aimi Yoshida, Grant Alexander, and Adrian Luca.

The powers in the game are Shadow Matter, Density Control, and Energy Projection. Players can also earn upgrade powers from other popular characters, such as leaving a trail of flames when running or increasing attack power.

The gameplay largely revolves around a fairly standard modern beat-em-up formula with weak and strong attacks, and simple combos. Powers cover defense, movement, and attacks, and provide new costumes. New bonus mutant powers are earned through completing objectives and side-quests, and upgrades may be purchased for the player's chosen mutant power with experience earned through battles.
