Not really.

They have changed the story. X-COM had no nation. Now, its USA's answer against aliens. The old X-COM sold hightech weapons on the black market and nations to get money.

Then there is the whole timeline. I loved that the old X-COM played in the modern time. Now its the 50s...

I really hope that the aliens from the old series are in. Because the new ones just look stupid.

If they keep the base building, research, jets, base attack/defend and free mission selection, then maybe it wont suck.

From the *new* Xcom franchise. The original was developed by Julian Gollop and Mythos games. He is currently in charge of Snapshot games and his latest take on Xcom was Phoenix Point.

I'm all for more tactics games. played Phoenix Point on Game Pass (ended up purchasing it), it's good...but doesn't have that same XCOM 2 feeling. Would love to see what these guys have to offer
