14 DAY TRIAL // The newly announced The Bureau: XCOM Declassified will look in many ways similar to the demo that 2K Marin and Take Two showed during E3 2011, with a lot tactical depth and a unique take on the world of the ‘60s.
Morgan Gray, creative director at 2K Marin, tells Polygon that “I think it will draw a nice through line from what you saw there, but obviously we've been dark for awhile.”
He adds, “We have so much new stuff that we've cooked up, refined and has become a game that we're currently poised to finish.”
The E3 2011 demo is significant because it was the first time that 2K Marin thought that it had a solid take on the core XCOM universe, while also introducing a degree of originality.
The Bureau: XCOM Declassified will be out on August 20 and will be playable on the PC, the PlayStation 3, and the Xbox 360.
