Xcom 2’s console arrival suffers slight delay

MCV Staff 5th August 2016 Business News

PC’s critical hit Xcom 2 has been pushed back a few weeks on PS4 and Xbox One.

The Firaxis action strategy outing had been due out on September 9th, but will now not arrive in the UK until September 30th. It hits the US slightly earlier on September 27th.

This short delay was necessary to ensure that the game is fully polished at launch and meets the team’s high standards for the critically acclaimed PC hit,” Take Two president Karl Slatoff told investors last night.

2K and Firaxis Games are excited to broaden the audience for this beloved series, and they will also continue to support the PC version of XCOM 2 with free and paid downloadable content.”

The game, which was released on PC in February, has an 88 rating on Metacritic, which also lists 11 separate 10/10s (or 100%s).

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
