2K Games has just posted a brand new video with its upcoming The Bureau: XCOM Declassified strategy game, this time focusing more on the story and the main protagonist, William Carter, while showing off lots of new gameplay.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown impressed millions of fans from around the world and, with The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, 2K Games wants to deliver a more action-oriented strategy experience.

Fans saw a special gameplay video a few months ago that showed just how a battle can progress, and now a new trailer has appeared, focusing more on the story of the game but also showing off new footage from actual missions.

As you can see above, players control Special Agent William Carter, who'll lead the XCOM bureau's forces in the field.

The game also highlights just how important teamwork, split-second decisions, and power synergy is during combat.

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified is out on August 20 in North America, and August 23 in Europe, for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
