Welcome to the conspiracy
A big announcement. A worried public. Years of silence. Rumors. Finally, everything is redacted. 2K couldn't have planned a better alternate-reality game for The Bureau: XCOM Declassified if it tried. But the shooter that perturbed weary X-Com fans who just wanted a strategy game, dammit has another chance to step out of the shadows after Enemy Unknown's success.
We knew XCOM was some kind of Cold-War era first-person shooter years before we saw Firaxis' brilliant reboot of the 1994 classic, but a troubled development cycle and three different studios later, things looked grim. After talking with 2K Marin Creative Director Morgan Gray, we're convinced the wait was worth it.
Before you proceed, make sure you're armed with all the knowledge hidden in this first trailer.
