Been taking some rides on the nostalgia train recently with X-Men ’97? Xbox wants you to keep that locomotive chugging, as it’s giving away a Series X themed around the show.
While the MCU is yet to fully reintroduce the X-Men into its live action universe (or I guess multiverse these days), Disney has still brought a continuation of the original ’90s X-Men series to its streaming service, X-Men ’97. The revival more or less picks things up where the original series left off, continuing on the story that initially wrapped up back in 1997, with a mixture of a returning cast, as well as some new voices. But, if you’re someone that has a big problem with an ex (sorry), then the custom Xbox Series X that Microsoft is giving away might not be for you.
“Xbox and X-Men ’97 have come together to bring you a very special Xbox Series X wrapped in a limited-edition comic inspired by the all-new series and created by Marvel writer Rich Douek and artist Paco Diaz,” describes Xbox Wire about the console. “This thrilling 2-page story with full page cover is exclusive to the Xbox Series X, and features Cyclops leading the X-Men in a battle against Sentinels and Master Mold, with an Xbox Series X console making a special appearance in the Danger Room. Marking the first time an Xbox Series X has been wrapped by a comic book, this collaboration promises to immerse fans in a nostalgic journey through the world of the X-Men ’97.”
