When XCOM: Enemy Unknown was first announced, it was paired with a squad-based shooter in the same universe, but since then XCOM: Enemy Unknown has been released, while not much information about the other XCOM has been released. Well now it appears that 2K Marin is ready to show off the game soon, according to a new blog post by the company.
"In the coming days the world will get a fresh look at the long-awaited squad-based tactical shooter in development at 2K Marin. Announced back in 2010, the game has undergone an evolution since we last showed it to you at E3 2011. Firaxis' critically acclaimed turn-based strategy title, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, has reignited the classic franchise and we feel that the time is right to deliver a new experience within the world of XCOM."
While the blog post does not exactly say how the game has changed, or indeed what the game's name will be. While the blog post has the name's name as [Redacted], recent rumors have the game being named The Bureau. Even though the game has been delayed for several years, 2K Marin is confident that they can deliver a critically praised game, much like the previous XCOM game.
"The creative development of this game has been a collaborative process of discovery and iteration. 2K's culture allows our studios the freedom to refine their visions, to explore new ideas, and to deliver the best possible experiences for players. Through this exploration, 2K Marin has refined their vision, and as a result the game has evolved into a high-stakes narrative experience imbued with core XCOM concepts."
Hopefully this new XCOM game, whatever it may be called, will finally see the light of day soon. Perhaps 2K Marin is planning on bringing the game to the next generation of consoles, and that is why the game was delayed. Time will tell what will happen with this latest XCOM game hits the shelves.
