The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, the next strategy game from 2K Games and its 2K Marin studio, has just received two live action trailers, showing off new aspects of the title and even requiring a decision from fans about the fate of one of the main characters.

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified acts as a sort of prequel to last year's XCOM: Enemy Unknown, taking the same basic approach to the strategy experience, while adding more action-oriented mechanics.

The game received an impressive video last week, and now a couple of live action trailers have appeared.

The one above shows actor Dominic Monaghan (of Lord of the Rings or Lost fame) play Agent Ennis Cole, who must draft a report about the first alien incident and the death of his wife and child.

Fans need to choose the next action of the character, as he can grab either a bottle of booze or a gun. Choices need to be posted on Twitter and, depending on their popularity, 2K will post a video of the result.

In the meantime, another trailer has appeared, showing an apparent TV show for kids from that same period, starring Orbit the Clown.

Check out the outlandish video below.
