Long in development, twice reworked, The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, now a third-person tactical shooter, hits this summer, publisher 2K Games announced this morning.
The Bureau hits North America on Aug. 20 and the rest of the world three days late and will sell for $59.99. The title, in development by 2K Marin for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, will tell the origin story of the XCOM organization. Set in 1962 at the height of the Cold War, the game traces how The Bureau, an organization created to deal with the Soviet Union threat, metamorphosed into a group designed to handle an alien threat. Players will take on the role of special agent William Carter at The Bureau who both fights to thwart an alien invasion and cover up the existence of extraterrestrials.
Unlike previous XCOM games, The Bureau will have players taking on the aliens in a real-time third-person shooter, rather than in an isometric turn-based tactical game. But Morgan Gray, creative director at 2K Marin told polygon that the game won\'t be a typical run-and-gun shooter.
\"What we\'re attempting to do is a third-person squad-based tactical shooter,\" Gray said. \"Putting you right there in the field. No more sitting back, watching everything unfold from a god\'s eye view.\"
Gray said the game\'s action strives to be somewhere between the methodical pacing of a military shooter like Full Spectrum Warrior and the faster paced action of a game like Rainbow Six.
