Download Alternative XCOM: Enemy Within Box Art In Honor Of Opposite Day
Firaxis and 2K games are celebrating opposite day today by offering alternative cover art for the recently released XCOM: Enemy Within.
The original art (seen below) features aliens on the cover, while the new downloadable and printable art (see above) puts the humans on the cover. You can head here to download high-quality versions of the art.

Our Take
Thanks to this alternative cover art, I have learned that opposite day is a real, somewhat recognized thing. I also learned, according to Wikipedia, “Opposite Day can also be declared retroactively to indicate that what was just asserted had the opposite meaning of what was originally intended.” Good to know for future reference.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
