A brand new gameplay video of The Bureau: XCOM Declassified has just been released, showing off the impressive Battle Focus system that allows players to issue orders and execute them in real-time in the upcoming title.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown proved that strategy experiences can still draw in lots of fans, and 2K Games wants to capitalize on the newfound popularity of the XCOM brand with The Bureau: XCOM Declassified.

The new title goes into a more action-oriented direction, but it still features a distinct emphasis on strategy, thanks to the Battle Focus system.

The mechanic allows the player to issue orders to his squad mates so that they move around the battlefield, deploy powers or items, and concentrate fire on priority targets.

To show off the Battle Focus in action, a new video has just been made available, so check it out above.

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified is out in August for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
