Game informer has just revealed that there is a new and "proper" X-COM game in the works, which will be a traditional X-COM game that focuses on large scale alien fighting strategy, mixed in with tactical control of your extra-terrestrial exterminating hired guns.
The game, which is nostalgically titled "X-COM: Enemy Unknown", is being made by Firaxis, which is a company with much experience in the strategy game genre, as they are the massive swollen brains behind several of the "Civilization" games.
According to Firaxis president, Steve Martin (don't laugh, that's his real name), there's been much consideration put into ensuring that this game will stay true to the "classic" X-COM games, as he explains in the interview with Game informer: "We were careful to keep XCOM: Enemy Unknown true to the elements that made X-COM such a revered game while delivering an entirely new story and gameplay experience for both die-hard X-COM fans and newcomers to the franchise."

The game will feature destructible environments, a real-time strategic view (as we know it from the old X-COM games) and turn based combat (again, like the old games of the series).
I'm looking forward to seeing more details about this game, which will hopefully be a little easier than the first X-COM, which I recently went back and played and subsequently got my ass completely handed to me by.
