This is the Ufopaedia.org news page where relevant news and site messages will appear. When this page is transcluded into other pages, only the new news items should appear there. Everything else will only display on this page. At least that is how it should work in theory.

News

* * * New XCOM Game by 2k Marin slated for release in second half of 2012 or early 2013 * * *

The game will focus on elite U.S. government operatives attempting to prevent a nightmarish invasion of the United States (while dropping the dash in X-COM). See:

  • The official XCOM site (only a couple of trailers here)
  • Some criticism of its change in focus (1, 2), although 2k Marin may be rethinking this
  • 2k's XCOM forum, including passionate posts by X-Commies
  • Once slated for March 2012 release, it has now slipped to a later date ([1, 2).


* * * X-COM Complete Packages now available for less than $15 * * *

At GamersGate, Steam and Direct2Drive. (Includes UFO, TFTD, Apoc, Int, and Enf).

For "reviews", see this.


Archived News

* * * Ufopaedia.org is now hosted by StrategyCore * * *
To visitors and regular contributors, the Ufopaedia.org wiki is now hosted on StrategyCore. A big thank you to Gazchap who started and hosted for so long what has since become a most fascinating and informative resource on X-COM.




OFFICIAL

- NEW X-COM GAME FROM THE DEVELOPERS OF BIOSHOCK 2

Yes, this will come as a shock to all, but 2K Australia and 2K Marin is busily working on a first-person shooter based on the X-COM franchise. More info will presumably become available on the 2010 E3.

For more information/rumors check 2K's X-COM forum.
