De strategie game XCOM 2 zou in november al verschijnen, maar ontwikkelaar Firaxis heeft laten weten dat de release is uitgesteld naar 5 februari 2016. Volgens eigen zeggen hebben ze de extra tijd nodig om de game nog beter te kunnen maken:
We’ve set a high bar for the sequel and the entire team has been working hard to make sure we deliver a great follow-up to Enemy Unknown. We just need a little more time to make it the best possible game.
With XCOM 2, we want to have more depth, more replayability, and more investment in your soldiers and this extension will give us the time we need to deliver on our promise to you.
We appreciate your patience and continued support as we move towards February. Good luck, Commander!
