In April, 2K announced that it intends to reboot its classic PC franchise, XCOM, as a first person shooter -- a departure from the series' strategic roots -- and with an evocative setting steeped in 1950s Americana.
More excitingly, the game is the first project from 2K Marin's Australia studio in Canberra, which previously collaborated with 2K Marin California on BioShock 2 and with Irrational Games on the original BioShock.
And as creative director Jonathan Pelling, explains, that's not the only reason to be excited by this reboot. It's not a jettisoning of the strategy elements of the classic PC game -- one which still has a passionate fan base all these years later.
Instead, he explains, it's an attempt to evoke the same feelings and add the same depth while changing the game fundamentally. To find out how the team hopes to undertake this ambitious design challenge, read on.
The XCOM Complete Game Bundle includes lots of DLCs and games playable on the Steam Deck. You can save over €220 on the 17-item bundle.

COG: A group of industry veterans from the XCOM franchise have teamed up to launch the new turned-based tactics studio Bit Reactor.
From the *new* Xcom franchise. The original was developed by Julian Gollop and Mythos games. He is currently in charge of Snapshot games and his latest take on Xcom was Phoenix Point.
I'm all for more tactics games. played Phoenix Point on Game Pass (ended up purchasing it), it's good...but doesn't have that same XCOM 2 feeling. Would love to see what these guys have to offer
