CVG has some new info regarding the Silicon Knights-developed upcoming X-Men: Destiny title for publisher Activision, as printed by their hardcopy brother, OXM UK.

Apparently the game is going to focus on the "tough decisions that an average X-Man has to make", and will come with a much darker tone than any X-Men games of the past. This bodes well in the hands of Silicon Knights, who developed the brilliant, but little-known Eternal Darkness for GameCube. Moreover, the game's setting is at a time when anti-mutant ideologies are at a fever-pitch, forcing the aforementioned decisions to hold a greater impact on how you drive the story and your character.

The OXM article also mentions we'll see familiar X-Men in the game including Gambit, Magneto and Quicksilver, among many more and that players will be able to alter their abilities through the "X-Gene" component; using other X-Men powers along with their own.

Apparently you'll have three characters to choose from, each of whom are the offspring of a "human zealot"; again pushing the darker, deeper X-Men experience. Each of the three characters are also now a part of the official X-Men cannon.

Usually post magazine features like this, online gets a bigger slice of the information pie, so stay tuned for more as we get it. Sounds pretty awesome so far though.
