Firaxis and 2K games are celebrating opposite day today by offering alternative cover art for the recently released XCOM: Enemy Within.

The original art (seen below) features aliens on the cover, while the new downloadable and printable art (see above) puts the humans on the cover. You can head here to download high-quality versions of the art.

Our Take
Thanks to this alternative cover art, I have learned that opposite day is a real, somewhat recognized thing. I also learned, according to Wikipedia, “Opposite Day can also be declared retroactively to indicate that what was just asserted had the opposite meaning of what was originally intended.” Good to know for future reference.
