X-COM sequel rumours at GameSpot

GameSpot posted a rumour the other day that there may be two X-COM sequels in the pipeline. The first is supposedly being worked on by 2K Boston / 2K Australia (of Bioshock fame), and speculation is we're talking a first person shooter. The second is supposedly a turn-based game From Civilization developers Firaxis.

 

The official story: "No comment." -- A tight-lipped 2K Games rep.

 

Bogus or not bogus?: Not bogus that 2K Boston is working on a new X-Com game of some sort, with a shooter spin-off being a strong possibility. As far as a second turn-based X-Com game from Firaxis is concerned, it would be the stuff of old-school gamers' dreams. And, as Fallout 3's massive sales proved, a critically acclaimed reboot of a classic franchise can reap massive rewards.

Thanks to Raion, Mr Mus and Lo for the heads up!
