Which could only mean one thing right? Turn Based? Gameinformer unveiled the scoop in this post. It will be a strategy game like the old school X-COM game. Sadly it still doesn't add the hyphen in between the title :s It has been confirmed there will be turn based tactical combat and a strategic real time view. Oh boy! Firaxis Head Steve Martin said "It’s been a dream of ours to recreate X-COM with our unique creative vision. We’re huge fans of the original game and it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to re-envision a game that is as beloved as X-COM". It's to be released Fall 2012(also coming out for the PS3 and XBOX360 as well as the PC) and we'll get more info when Gameinformer releases their February issue. This would perhaps satiate the fanboys that raged at the news of 2K Marin doing the first person XCOM. Firaxis well known for their turn based Civilization series has a great track record for turn based strategy. Can they do a proper tactical combat game? We'll have to wait and see.
