14 DAY TRIAL // Alyssa Finley, a vice president at developer 2K Marin, says that gamers should not look at the newly announced The Bureau: XCOM Declassified as a full reboot of the project that was previously revealed.
Instead, players should understand that the team has tested a wide array of ideas and has only recently chosen the ones that will work best with the audience.
The executive tells Shacknews that, “The game has not restarted over and over again. If you look back at the game we showed in 2010, you’ll see some of the same enemies, you can see some of the same teammates. This really is an evolution.”
The team has emphasized that those who saw demos of The Bureau: XCOM Declassified in 2011 will see many familiar elements in its current incarnation.
The Bureau: XCOM Declassified will be launched in late August on the PC, the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360.
