‘The Bureau: XCOM Declassified’ shows the last line of defense

The tumultuous development cycle of The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, featuring changes, delays, and a couple of near-cancellations, is about to come to an end. Here is a new trailer for the game, releasing August 23.

For one who hasn’t been closely following the game, you may be surprised to see such a heavy emphasis on tactics. It does appear to still be a third-person shooter, but the trailer makes ample use of a Mass Effect-esque skill wheel to issue commands to two teammates. However, even with the strategic addition it doesn’t appear to be too similar to Enemy Unknown (at least we hope not). If this game can carve its own space in the property, it might be a pretty solid title. Check out the trailer below.
