Julian Gollop, the British designer responsible for creating the X-COM series of games, has set up a crowdfunding campaigning to help raise the funds for his latest title. Phoenix Point is aiming to raise $500,000 through the site Fig and has already reached more than 60% of that target thanks to the contributions of 4,600 backers. With some 42 days left remaining of the project, it looks likely that it will be successful. According to information released through the campaign page. Phoenix Point has been in development for around a year already. It is scheduled to release in the fourth quarter of 2018 for PC, Mac, and Linux. “We are creating Phoenix Point by taking influences from the famed X-COM franchise,” Gallop said. “We are updating our favourite gameplay features from X-COM titles such as UFO: Enemy Unknown and X-COM Apocalypse that I designed, and mixing them with some of the amazing ideas Firaxis Games executed brilliantly in their franchise reboots, to create an entirely new game whose essence lies

This was largely down to the fact that the development team were more comfortable developing a title for PC and because many of the features they wanted to include didn’t seem possible on either the Xbox or PlayStation consoles when they began working on XCOM 2. XCOM 2 originally launched in February 2016 and

2K Games have been teasing an AAA title for several weeks now and they have finally revealed exactly what that game is with the announcement of XCOM 2.  The sequel to the 2012 turn-based strategy game is being developed by Firaxis Games, who are better known for the Civilization series but also worked on the last entry in the franchise. Last week the publisher launched a website for the Advent Administration that advertised new urban cities that offered gene therapies and DNA splicing for people looking to get rid of illnesses. The website portrayed these new cities as the future of humanity but warnings from apparent hackers littered the site, suggesting that the Advent cities might not have been the perfect places to live. While it was clear that the website was a marketing campaign for a new game, many believed that it may have been for a possible new BioShock game. Thanks to the information released by 2K Games though we now know that the Advent Administration is an
