Evolved XCOM FPS to be revealed in days

2K Marin has confirmed that an evolved version of the previously announced XCOM shooter will be revealed in the coming days.

The tactical shooter was first announced back in 2010, but since then the concept of the game seems to have changed greatly.

The developer said the whole process has been "a collaborative process of discovery and iteration".

"The XCOM universe is expanding," wrote 2K Marin on its official blog.

"In the coming days the world will get a fresh look at the long-awaited squad-based tactical shooter in development at 2K Marin.

"Announced back in 2010, the game has undergone an evolution since we last showed it to you at E3 2011. Firaxis' critically acclaimed turn-based strategy title, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, has reignited the classic franchise and we feel that the time is right to deliver a new experience within the world of XCOM."

Apparently the game has turned into "a high-stakes narrative experience imbued with core XCOM concepts".

Expect to hear more "in only a matter of days".
