Hotly-anticiapted tactics game Xenonauts 2 finally has a release date, and we'll be able to play it on July 18th, 2023, seven years since it was confirmed and six years since the first demo. Developer Goldhawk Interactive and publisher Hooded Horse have announced that it'll release into Early Access on Steam.
Xenonauts 2 a game in the vein of XCOM, but rather than the radical redesign of the original formula that was XCOM 2012 and its sequels it's a hardcore reimagining of what the original XCOM series could have become. Xenonauts 2 is described by the developers as a further layer of rebirth: " Xenonauts 2 is less a direct sequel and more a re-imagining of the original vision, featuring a modern engine, a new setting, and refined mechanics built for long-time fans and new strategy gamers alike," they said in a press release.
