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
X-COM fans rejoice! The remake of the 1994 classic UFO: Enemy Unknown (or XCOM: UFO Defense) will be released on October 9th, 2012.
- The demo of the game has been showed at for the E3 convention and there's a trailer called 'Last Stand' available at YouTube.
- It will return the franchise to turn-based tactical combat with real-time management but instead of TUs, soldiers can perform two actions per turn: move and take a non-movement action or move twice.
- In one of the lastest interviews, Jake Solomon, Lead Designer, has revealed that they first made a prototype using the TU system before deciding to use the new system.
- Screenshots here, more info here.
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).
At GamersGate, Steam and Direct2Drive. (Includes UFO, TFTD, Apoc, Int, and Enf).
For "reviews", see this.
Archived News
- 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.
