A new race of powerful alien enemies will challenge even expert players

The development team at Firaxis is promoting a new project linked to XCOM: Enemy Unknown via a teaser that was shown during PAX East, which might point to an expansion for the 2012 title or a full sequel.

The teaser shows a transmission from the Council that gave the player funding and missions in the game, complete with talk of a new threat just before the signal is lost.

This fact might suggest that the capabilities of the new XCOM enemies are more impressive than those of the aliens that players have already defeated.

The end of the Firaxis-made Enemy Unknown had a number of lines that suggested that the aliens had reached Earth in order to get resources and regroup before facing a powerful enemy they had been running from for some time.
