XCOM: Enemy Unknown aims to bring the strategy series back to its roots.

If you were one of those people that hopped straight onto NeoGAF to voice your disgust at 2K Marin's first-person XCOM reboot, then this announcement is for you; the latest issue of Game Informer magazine has revealed that Civilization developer Firaxis Games is currently working on a new XCOM title named XCOM: Enemy Unkown — and, yes, it's a strategy game.

The title is planned for PlayStation 3 this fall, and while details are currently scarce, a full blowout is included in this month's Game Informer magazine.

Interestingly, the first XCOM release was subtitled "Enemy Unknown", though it's not believed that this new title is a remake. We should probably hasten to add that 2K Marin's first-person shooter has not been cancelled in order to make way for Enemy Unknown — instead the two titles will compliment each other as the XCOM series makes its long awaited comeback.
