XCOM 2 Console Editions Delayed Three Weeks
The alien invasion is still heading to consoles, but resistance groups will have to wait a bit before making their retaliatory strike.
During its Q! 2017 earnings call, Take-Two announced the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One editions of XCOM 2 need a few more weeks before they are ready for primetime. Originally slated to release September 6, the game is now expected to launch on September 27.

Our Take
Delays are always a bummer, but we'd rather a developer take the extra time to make sure the game is running well than rush it out the door.
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.
