The Art Of XCOM: Enemy Unknown
After years of creating barbarians and Mahatma Ghandis for the Civilization series, art director Greg Foertsch was given the task of reimagining the look of X-COM. Shedding the original's Saturday-morning-graphic-novel look for one of slightly stylized "miniatures", Greg Foertsch and his team of artists have pored over the details of everything from the insectoids to the Skyranger. Check out the video below to see concept art and screens from the game and to learn more about how the new game takes advantage of an active camera.
In addition, we've got three more screenshots from the game in the media gallery below for your viewing pleasure.

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.
