2K Games has today announced that its XCOM reboot is set to launch on March 6 in North America and March 9 internationally next year.
The publisher has also announced that the game will release on PlayStation 3 alongside the originally confirmed Xbox 360 and PC versions.
“Every time I think of XCOM it gives me the chills, the kind that come from standing witness to the corruption and destruction of your world as you stand powerless to prevent it,” said 2K Games president Christoph Hartmann.
Unlike its predecessors, XCOM is a first-person experience. Players step into the shoes of Special Agent William Carter as he and his team of specialised government agents go up against the threat of human extinction.
An E3 trailer for the game has also been released – catch that below.
