Pre-Load The XCOM Board Game App Now Before The Game Arrives This Month
Back in August, Fantasy Flight Games announced a tabletop version of XCOM. The publisher is almost ready to release it onto an unsuspecting world, and you can get ready now.
XCOM tasks players in different roles across the XCOM organization. The Commander, Chief Scientist, Central Officer, and Squad Leader will need to work as a team to push back the alien menace.
At the heart of that is the companion app, which is available for download now on PC, Mac, iOS, and Android. You’ll need it to play the game, which is due out around January 28 (tabletop games don’t often have the same specific release dates as video games).
For more on XCOM, check out our detailed preview in the September 2014 issue. You can also check out our previous online coverage and an explanation on Fantasy Flight’s website about how the companion app is integrated into the experience.
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.
