xcom 3 will be.. nope. Firaxis brings Marvel´s Midnight Sun 2021

[Skarsatai 2.0]

Today on the Gamescon 2021 announced: Firaxis brings Marvel´s Midnight Sun 2021. I hoped for Xcom3. Not for Super dudes . I am not going to buy it. I will stick to Xcom2 with all the wonderful mods from the community.

[Sanctified Reach 420]

they should have announced xcom 3 for sure by now. Marvel will cater to the more younger audience and i will not be buying it. xcom 3 would have broke their bank if they have preorders already. why are they so stupid and go for the younger parent's money be paying for it game. i guess they did the math.

[KRON]

At this rate XCOM 3 will be released at around XCOM 2's 10th anniversary.

(mods you cant run normally because of the broken launcher)

God forbid Firaxis actually make something other than Civ and XCOM. As much as I like XCOM, good on the devs for branching out for once. No reason to turn XCOM into a soulless, yearly production like Call of Duty or Assassin's Creed. Let the devs stretch their creative muscles a bit, I say. Innovation dies in an environment where you do the same thing all the time.

Use the alternate Mod launcher. "AML" best tool for xcom2 modlist. I use 921 mods !

[John Thicc 3 - Parabelly]

Yeah, this is Jake Solomon's big project (what everyone thought would be XCOM 3). Guess we won't be getting another for a while then, and Chimera Squad can be canonically considered "XCOM 3".

The only bad part about this is that there probably won't be any mod support because Marvel are weird

[Shimrod42]

Really enjoyed XCOM EU, loved XCOM2 + Wotc...and, while i would have been more than happy to hear news from XC3, i'm actually curious about this new game and will follow coming informations ! Trusting you here commander J. Solomon 😉

[Psyclops]

Same...I'm not buying this crap; was never interested in comic books, or marvel for that matter; I watched one of the Ironman movies, and that was it.

[Mazisky]

Jake said the game is nothing like Xcom.

This franchise is probably dead with War of the Chosen

There have been literally 2 proper Firaxis XCOMs, you can stretch to 4 if you include the Bureau (really its own entirely different game) and Chimera Squad (a cheaper shorter spinoff reusing assets). With a whole 2 proper-sized DLCs between them.

A stretch to compare to 6 Civilisations plus god knows how many expansions. Ridiculous to compare to COD or Assassins Creed.

Also, they didn't have to do a sequelbait ending for XCOM2 WOTC (and a different sequelbait ending for Chimera Squad), they could have ended properly like XCOM 1. But they did their sequelbait ending and now aren't delivering a sequel anytime soon. I feel I can be a bit peeved.

(Not sure why all the Marvel hate on the thread though)

Should be awesome. Look forward to it.
