Last week, 2K teased us with a cryptic website: AdventFuture.org. On it, a supposedly utopian near-future government called the Advent Administration offered a better life for citizens through genetic enhancement, while hackers subversively replaced text and images revealing that Advent isn’t as benevolent as it seems.

Today, IGN First officially announces that the game 2K hinted at is in fact Firaxis Games’ XCOM 2, a full sequel to 2012’s critically acclaimed XCOM: Enemy Unknown and a continuation of the now 20-year-old legendary turn-based tactical squad combat series, which will be available exclusively on PC this November. Watch the debut trailer above for a glimpse into a future where the aliens are in control of the Earth, and XCOM has gone underground to fight to overthrow their Advent government. This new guerrilla force will face more powerful enemies in unpredictable combat scenarios as they fight to turn the tables on a technologically superior enemy.

Over the next month IGN will reveal huge details about XCOM 2, uncovered during our visit to Firaxis’ Maryland studio. Tomorrow you’ll get an in-depth overview and interview with Creative Director Jake Solomon that’ll highlight the major new features, including new soldier classes, new aliens, stealth-infused tactics, procedurally generated maps, and more. Following that, we’ll have a Rewind Theater examination of all the details in today’s trailer reveal with Solomon and Lead Producer Garth DeAngelis.

And, later this week we’ll go in-depth with Solomon and DeAngelis on the reasons behind the bold move to take XCOM from a multiplatform series to a PC exclusive, and how XCOM 2 will be tailored to take advantage of that single platform’s strengths – followed by Firaxis’ exciting plans to support modders and their work.

You might notice a lack of gameplay video, but fear not: in two weeks, we’ll debut the first in-game footage of XCOM 2 on our IGN E3 Live Show.

All of that and much, much more XCOM 2 is coming your way. As a huge XCOM fan, I couldn’t be more excited to tell you all about it. 

I'm sure the PS4/X1 versions are coming along nicely :p

An early Q1 2016 on console is probably best anyway (hopefully thats what we'll see), they'll avoid all the blockbusters in November.

Absolutely awesome. I'm very happy right now.

Wut. No mobile? It was awesome on my Tablet

Looks good!

My client is ready.

You were looking forward to something that hadn't been announced until it was announced and now don't want it? XD

No doubt they'll get some studio to port it once its finished. Not sure FireAxis are big enough for a full multiplat job in one go.

The previous X-Com remake is such a great game. More players should try it. I don't think it gets the credit it should get among gamers. This should be a BIG deal. Bummed that it's not coming to consoles, but it will probably be ported in the future.

Nice CGI trailer.

But this is not a game about graphics, so I'll wait until real gameplay is shown and some hands-on previews are available to decide my purchase.

Cool beans, I enjoyed the last one and recently a friend of mine got into the series from giving EU a gander.

I'm actually surpirsed though that it's going PC first and possibly consoles later, actually pretty amazed considering how it works the other way around these days while the PC versions get bogged down going that way usually.
