X-COM News

PHOENIX POINT ONE YEAR EDITION RELEASED!


Phoenix Point Geoscape

December 8th, 2020

 * Phoenix Point, the successor to the XCom series made by its original creator,
   Julian Gollop, has just released its one year edition on Steam and other
   gaming platforms. The player takes control of Phoenix Point, a top secret
   organization created to deal with extraordinary threats, as it fights the
   Pandora virus, an alien lifeform that wishes to remake Earth at its own
   image, while dealing with human factions that also have their own agenda for
   the future of the planet, in a game heavily influenced by the Cthulu Mythos.
   The game follows the classic 4X (Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate) for
   its Geoscape layer, with a turn-based combat system situated halfway between
   the original game and Firaxis' XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Phoenix Point even has
   its own wiki and it seems influenced by the UFOPaedia!

XCOM: CHIMERA SQUAD ANNOUNCED!

April 14th, 2020

 * Firaxis has announced an upcoming spinoff to the XCOM franchise, "Chimera
   Squad", to be released in April 24th. The events of the game take place 5
   years after XCOM 2 and are centered upon the titular multi-species law
   enforcement unit keeping the peace among the humans and aliens living
   together in the metropolis known as City 31, as a seeming spiritual successor
   to X-COM: Apocalypse. The released gameplay trailer reveals that in addition
   to playable alien squad members, consisting of the Sectoid Verge, the Viper
   Torque and the Muton Axiom, the game also introduces a Breaching mechanic for
   setting up an opening surprise attack at the beginning of combat, a Timeline
   system where the combatants on both sides individually take turns after each
   other in a fixed, faction-alternating order rather than the entire team
   acting as once like in previous games, as well as disposable androids to take
   the place of injured agents on the team roster.
