2K Games and Firaxis Games have announced that a new XCOM game is launching tomorrow called XCOM: Enemy Within for Android devices both on Google Play and Amazon’s Appstore. However this won’t be arriving as an IAP but as a new release.
XCOM: Enemy Within doesn’t stray too far from Enemy Unknown in that players will be defending Earth from an invading alien race. You will have to be able to manage your resources well in order to accomplish this goal. These resources will be used to help build up your defensive forces whether it be researching new weaponry and commanding your forces in battles against this alien race.
Even though the update tomorrow will mostly be about bringing the Enemy Within expansion to XCOM, the older content from the original game is getting a bit of a massage as well. New maps, aliens (2 new types to deal with), weapons and so on are being added to it. Soldiers will also be able to get genetically modified, new cybersuits, weapons and tools to use. Finally a new resource will be added to the game called Meld which can be used to unlock new technology and weapons.
XCOM: Enemy Within will be launching onto Android tomorrow both on Google Play and Amazon’s Appstore. When it does arrive it will cost $12.99. We will post an update when Enemy Within arrives. You can snag a copy of the original game through the appropriate links below.
