XCOM is an upcoming first-person shooter video game in development by 2K Marin for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The game is a reboot of the X-COM video game series originally created by Microprose. XCOM was officially revealed at E3 2010, and is expected to be released on March 9, 2012.

 

 

Set in 1962, players will take the role of William Carter, a field intelligence officer with the FBI now assigned to XCOM, whose job is to identify and eliminate an unknown extraterrestrial threat.

 

XCOM is the re-imagining of the classic tale of humanity's struggle against an unknown enemy that puts players directly into the shoes of an FBI agent tasked with identifying and eliminating the growing threat. True to the roots of the franchise, players will be placed in charge of overcoming high-stake odds through risky strategic gambits coupled with heart-stopping combat experiences that pit human ingenuity - and frailty - against a foe beyond comprehension. By setting the game in a first-person perspective, players will be able to feel the tension and fear that comes with combating a faceless enemy that is violently probing and plotting its way into our world.
