Hooked Gamers writes: "In the 1990s, PC Gamers were enamoured with Julian Gollop's extraterrestrial strategy series X-Com, as seen by the fact that the first title in the series, UFO: Enemy Unknown (Later released under the title X-Com: UFO Defense), is regularly applauded as one of the greatest games to have ever graced the PC. However, after 4 sequels, the series was put on hold in 2001 when Hasbro Interactive was closed down. Nothing was heard of the series for 9 years."

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.
I'm super hyped for this game. Thank you for the preview.
Will I be able to control a squad of numerous soldiers, run and manager multiple bases all while.... oh wait this isn't a real XCom.
Im keeping an eye on this looking good.
