XCOM: Enemy Unknown Appeases Fans, Returns To Strategy

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

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

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.
