Adult Swim - X-Men: Apocalypse

ADULT SWIM / X-Men: Apocalypse

Our favorite team of crime fighting mutants are back! This time the X-Men are up against ancient cyber-mutant Apocalypse and his four horsemen.

Pick your horsemen and fight crime in our video game version of the Adult Swim trailer. This was our opportunity to play with those 8-bit and 16-bit pixels. X-Men, pixels, and video games? Oh my! Doesn’t get much cooler (or nerdier) than that!
