X-COM sequel imminent?

Tenger

For any fans of Enemy Unknown and Enemy Within. (I have got back into them with the Long War mod over the last month)
Just been looking at reddit and I see this debate:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Xcom/comments/379wqq/commanders_it_looks_like_the_second_invasion_may/

Its in relation to this website that has been getting gradually "hacked" over the last few days:
http://www.adventfuture.org/

Its from 2K games and looks like it expires tomorrow......

Hope it's XCOM and not some new franchise - signs look good though.

I think we are overdue some more X-Com, it was a very successful game, sold well and well received.

Sequel confirmed. PC only though?

They ported the first to everything that moved so I doubt it will be PC only.

IGN have confirmed it is PC-only. An explanation will be given by the developers in an interview with IGN during the week. My guess: sales. I believe it sold poorly on peasant machines and understandably so. RTS games generally don't do well on consoles.

Can not wait for XCOM2. The first is an excellent game! I am hoping they announce co-op though. Would be great to play through the campaign with a team mate and work together.

Trailer? Trailer...

Looks interesting. New Alien Types and more Advent - PC Only and Mod Support = the best news yet!

But it's not an RTS, it's a Turn Based Strategy game, totally different kettle of fish on Consoles

Looks very promising

November is the slated release date


Pumped for this!

Angron

Excited as hell for this.

Wonder if 2K are gonna show more at E3. Are they slated to appear at the PCGamer conference? Seems like the perfect fit game to show off there.

Rumour mill says yes, i'd say the reveal today was planned well in advance so they can hype the sh!t out of it in E3, considering it's got a November 15 launch, they must have been working their arses off on this since enemy within or even before. Afaik Jake Soloman the Enemy Unknown lead designer has been on this project since sometime before EW too, so this is an incredibly good sign

Honestly this looks like a day 1 purchase and it has been a very long time since I could say that about a game...

Dair76

Awesome news. Should probably get a mod to move this to PC Gaming.

Back in the PS1 era RTS games were very popular on the machine. But after that not so much.

The 360 got C&C3 and it's stand alone addon and Halo Wars while the PS3 only really got Xcom like the 360.

I just think Xcom was too hardcore for the average console gamer of today compared to 2 generations ago.

Can't wait for this. Absolutely loved the last one. Interesting trailer as well. Looks like straight up invading didn't work for the aliens, so they took over covertly. Having XCom as an almost terrorist organisation would be pretty damn cool.

Still havent played the first one , still sitting in my steam library

Patser

Well that's convinced me to get Long War so as to keep practiced for the new one.

Cravez

Really looking forward to this.

Enemy Unknown/Within were based off in a way to the original UFO:Enemy Unknown. It seems that the new XCOM seems to be based off similarly to the XCOM Apocalypse universe (futuristic metropolitan neo cities) which is my favourite in the series.

Ahhhh flip. Sometimes I feel like my attention span is too long to own a PlayStation.

Oh, this look good. Might need a new laptop however.

I hope Bradford, Vahlen and Chen return.
