In the future, the world is in ruins, and the X-Men have failed to protect it. The X-Men have been granted one chance to re-write history and return to the past to stop this war from starting.

Players will experience fast-paced action as they navigate with one of five mutants – Wolverine, Kitty Pryde, Colossus, Cyclops and Scarlet Witch – while they fight for the future of mutant- and human-kind in two separate timelines.
