Secretive project from 2K Games revealed to be a new XCOM game
By Harrison Wingfield
Today, it was revealed first on IGN that XCOM, the popular turn-based alien-shooting strategy would be coming exclusively to PC this November. So naturally, we're all left wondering "well, what about a console or mobile version?" (because after all, XCOM has a history with being a popular game on the Google Play and Apple stores respectively). However, I think it's safe to assume that it's going to be on consoles and your nearest tablet in 2016 at least. We're not 100% sure if that's the case, but we can dream, right?
As far as the game itself goes, a trailer has been released on IGN's YouTube channel, which you can check out below:
As for the game itself, the following quote has been released:
"XCOM 2, the roles have been reversed, and XCOM is now the invading force. They are hampered by limited resources and must constantly evade the alien threat in their new mobile headquarters. Players must use a combination of firepower and stealth-like tactics to help XCOM recruit soldiers and build a resistance network, while attempting to expose the evil alien agenda and save humanity. XCOM 2 will introduce gameplay features such as procedurally-generated levels, which will make each experience unique to the player, as well as offer a much deeper level of modding support. Additionally, XCOM 2 will offer a variety of new content including five updated soldier classes, increased soldier customization, more alien and enemy types, evolved tactical combat and more."
XCOM 2 is being developed by Firaxis, famous for previous XCOM games and the Civilisation franchise. 2K are publishing the game.
