While IGN is still anxiously awaiting the announcement of a strategy focused X-COM sequel from a particular studio in the 2K family, the news that 2K Marin, fresh from the success of BioShock 2, is finally resurrecting their beloved franchise is very encouraging.
With E3 starting next week, 2K Games revealed the biggest E3 line up they have for the year

COG: A group of industry veterans from the XCOM franchise have teamed up to launch the new turned-based tactics studio Bit Reactor.
From the *new* Xcom franchise. The original was developed by Julian Gollop and Mythos games. He is currently in charge of Snapshot games and his latest take on Xcom was Phoenix Point.
I'm all for more tactics games. played Phoenix Point on Game Pass (ended up purchasing it), it's good...but doesn't have that same XCOM 2 feeling. Would love to see what these guys have to offer
Due to Firaxis’ overall success with the reimagined XCOM series, the XCOM name has become a catchall term for tactical role-playing games in general, which is unfair to the entirety of that subset of games.
The original 1994 Xcom is the one all others are compared to not the fireaxis version. It's also still the best.
OMG X-Com is one of my favourite strategy games of all time... They will ruin it by turning it into an FPS.. They tried it wil Red Alert and it didn't work take note.. Plus the dev who is making it is known for WRPG's/shooter hybrids not pure shooters... This is gonna be a terrible game..
