2K and Firaxis Games have broken my fragile heart by announcing that XCOM 2 has been delayed into February. I’m joking. Mostly.
Actually, considering the wealth of excellent titles out this year, a bit of a break might not be such a bad thing. Anyway, giving developers a bit of extra time to polish and refine is generally a good idea.
“We’ve set a high bar for the sequel and the entire team has been working hard to make sure we deliver a great follow-up to Enemy Unknown,” says Firaxis. “We just need a little more time to make it the best possible game. With XCOM 2, we want to have more depth, more replayability, and more investment in your soldiers and this extension will give us the time we need to deliver on our promise to you.
Amen to that. To see why I’m so excited about the new approach Firaxis is taking with XCOM 2, namely setting up your band of soldiers as an outnumbered resistance movement, check out some footage of the game in action below.
