From the original creator of XCOM - Julian Gollop ( Snapshot Games to be exact, that is the studio Julian co-founded back in 2013), we have the upcoming title Phoenix Point what will be out this 3rd of September. Julian just announced that a couple of days ago, and the developer also gave us a new video demonstrating the alien war's changing nature.
I have to say that this video trailer is a little bit on the odd side. In fact, I half expected that they would make it with a punchline or something like that.
Over the progress of the game, the enemy forces will mutate to have new abilities and appearances that you will have to adapt to deal with. On the other hand, we could also customise our soldiers to a certain extent via specialisation, classes, and faction options.
A hard decision
Snapshot has explained to us that there will be an Alien Queen who leads the enemies in the game to evolve and transform base on the choices of players in the game. So in order to defend Earth from this extraterrestrial threat which is capable of mutating their troop for the upper hand, the last defenders of Earth will face the difficult question of sacrificing their humanity to save all of humanity.
More interesting, back in March, Snapshot announced that Phoenix Point would be an exclusive for Epic Games Store. But just a few days ago they said that it would also go to Microsoft Store together with the Xbox Game Pass. This Pass went into beta a couple of days before.
We also have the system requirements for the game from EGS as follow:
