Bioshock developers creating a new X-Com game?

by Kiven on May 6th, 2008

It has been reported that the team behind Bioshock is behind the next X-Com game and i couldnt be happier. This isnt some news from left field as 2k bought the rights to the X-Com franchise in 2007. Who better to craft the next iteration of the turn based tactical alien invasion sim? Argh. I hope this is true.

The latest Official Xbox Mag is running a rumour that’s been quietly - oh so quietly - doing the rounds for a few months now. That rumour concerns just what, exactly, 2K Boston (and I presume 2K Australia as well) are up to these days. With 2K Marin confirmed as the team behind BioShock 2, what could Ken Levine and the rest of the guys behind BioShock 1 be working on? Maybe a new X-Com game. Yes, X-Com. 2K quietly bought the rights to the series in 2007, so the rumour’s at least got a solid footing, though we’re still going to recommend you increase your daily intake of salt. If only because the thought of a new, official X-Com game is too awesome to mess around with.

    OH SHIT, I think I just wet my pants.

    I still play X-Com to this very day (thanks to the XP version), and it never gets old. All that UFO crap that came out the past years was a major disappointment that I had to endure, so this news is fricking awesome.
