XCOM: Legends is real and is an official XCOM game

Some details were posted on the internet this weekend about a new XCOM game called XCOM: Legends, a mobile title created by a new developer called Iridium Starfish. We reached out to 2K Games and received confirmation that XCOM: Legends is real, official, and one of the “new experiences” that 2K is exploring to bring to its fans.

Rumors of XCOM: Legends date back to last year, where leaked ads started appearing on Facebook, relating to a Google Play store that didn’t exist, causing people to fear it was a fake. . This week, the game’s store page finally appeared and some people managed to get access to XCOM: Legends, posting videos like the one below.

As fans were concerned whether this was real or unofficial, we contacted 2K and a representative confirmed that the game is a real official XCOM game. “We are constantly exploring and testing new experiences to provide our fans with the best entertainment and value,” they said, confirming that the development of Iridium Starfish has “smoothly launched XCOM Legends in limited territories.”

You can check out the gameplay of XCOM: Legends below. It’s certainly a different type of XCOM game than what fans are used to – including mobile fans, as both XCOM 1 and 2 are available there – with F2P mobile aspects defined as premium tickets for quick recruiting. It promises a proper story that seems to unfold during the events of XCOM 2, and the Chosen Ones appear at some point as well.

It is not yet known when XCOM: Legends will launch worldwide, or if it will at all. Still, it’s probably not the XCOM 3 announcement that many were hoping for. It’s also not the first beloved PC game to get a mobile version this month, since the Pokemon Go-like The Witcher: Monster Slayer released this week.
