XCOM: Enemy Unknown

New XCOM: Enemy Unknown Trailer Unleashes The Aliens

In XCOM: Enemy Unknown, humans rally around the common threat of an alien invasion. We're all familiar with humans, so Firaxis Games and 2K have released a new trailer to reacquaint players with the enemies they'll be facing this October.

The trailer is officially called "Casualties of War," which makes it sound a bit more high-falutin' than it actually is. There's no slow-motion action set to a stark piano soundtrack in this video. Instead, watch giant robots, creepy aliens, and heavily armed dudes blast the crap out of one another.

For more information on the game, take a look at our earlier preview, as well as our XCOM: Enemy Unknown hub page.

  • Glad this game is living up to the hype so far. This genre doesn't have a lot of quality titles for console owners.

  • Is anybody else tired of all of these art degree ads? like the guy with the firey morfed head?

  • Think I could make a full time job out of playing all the games coming out this Fall...with a significant amount of overtime. Pay me maybe?

  • Looks wonderful. Since the cover story release, I've been excited for this game. The original XCOM was rewarding when played correctly. I hope this one gives me as much of a challenge.

  • There is only a little over two week left til release! I'm so happy Firaxis decided to reboot XCOM. From what I've seen/heard, they nailed the reboot perfectly. Now I just have to endure the remaining time til I get to play.
  • Well it's looking pretty awesome so far.

  • I'm definitely getting this.
