Rumor: Viral Video May Be Teasing The XCOM Shooter
A video playing off the recent Russian meteor crash may be teasing the XCOM first-person shooter that recently and inexplicably disappeared form the Internet.
Shack News did some research on the video, discovering that the source code page reveals the keyword 'whathappenedin62', which is a domain name that 2K recently registered. The account name for the YouTube video, Veritas MCMLXII, also could be a hint as it is Latin for 'Truth 1962'.
The evidence is, admittedly, pretty thin. The video could be fan made, or completely unrelated to XCOM and all of its relation to XCOM could be entirely incidental. What do you think? Are we going to be hearing more about the XCOM shooter soon?
