GamingUnion.net: "Following the release of the ill-fated X-Com: Enforcer in 2001, many believed that the X-Com franchise may never surface again, at least not in an official capacity. There were a few unofficial games which used the UFO name, but they were nothing but spiritual successors like UFO: Alien Invasion. This all changed following the acquisition of the IP by 2K Games as X-Com is now being re-born and re-branded as XCOM under the watchful eye of 2K Marin. And in this preview, we'll take a look at what 2K Marin are doing from the perspective of a fan of the original three, Enemy Unknown, Terror from the Deep and Apocalypse."
With E3 starting next week, 2K Games revealed the biggest E3 line up they have for the year

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
Due to Firaxis’ overall success with the reimagined XCOM series, the XCOM name has become a catchall term for tactical role-playing games in general, which is unfair to the entirety of that subset of games.
The original 1994 Xcom is the one all others are compared to not the fireaxis version. It's also still the best.
The opinions on this game sure have been polarizing.
the devs sound like they have some solid ideas in the pipeline for this... very interested.
but than one day i was reading a article it also said ps3 i went to their facebook page and asked with few minutes answered and confirmed it is coming to ps3.
i am interested it looks different hopefully it will be good
It's up for preorder on the PS3 already at gamestop/EB I noticed this awhile ago, but, am generally to lazy to post stuff.
