XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a New Turn-Based XCOM

Posted on Thursday, January 5 @ 22:17:55 Eastern by

GameInformer's latest cover reveal features a guy with a gun and a 1950s inspired alien in the spotlight. That means NEW XCOM, but not the new XCOM you'd expect.

2K's XCOM reboot, or Mass EffeXCOM as I like to call it, has been pushed out to 2013 with this new turn-based title from Sid Meier's Firaxis studio titled XCOM: Enemy Unknown. The alien hunting strategy game also blends in the political process you might expect to see from a civ title as agents will be dealing with government bodies in their missions.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown is due out on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC this Fall.

    Huzzah! Hope it lives up to the original, one of my all-time favorite games, and it's turn-based too! There aren't enough good turn-based games these days.

    I think Firaxis can pull it off but I'm not sure. Xenonauts and XCOM in the same year, yes!

    Just realized they matched up both original X-com title together. UFO: enemy unknown and Xcom: UFO defense. Guess that'll cause more confusions among fans.

    I know it got nothing to do with this but I'd like to point out i am more excited about this news then the announcement of the other X-com game , the syndicate reboot and the C&C generals sequel.
