Hot off the heels of the release date for the strategy game XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Take-Two has announced that XCOM, the first person shooter take on the strategy franchise, has been delayed into "fiscal 2014." The news was announced during Take-Two's annual earnings call.

After being in development for four years, Irrational Games’ next entry in the BioShock series, BioShock Infinite, has a release date. Gamers will finally be able to explore the floating city of Columbia on October 19, 2012 on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 or PC.

XCom is a franchise that, until two years ago, many assumed was dead and gone.  In 2010, however, longtime fans rejoiced at headlines that revealed a new title was in the works.  In most cases, though, this excitement only lasted as long as it took to read the article under those headlines, which revealed that this latest entry would actually be a first person shooter instead of an overhead strategy game.  Internet outrage soon followed.

Last year, 2K Marin announced that they were working on a new version of the popular PC game, X-Com. This version, officially titled “XCOM”, is a re-imagining of the classic strategy game, and takes a page from Fallout 3, transforming the game into a FPS hybrid. The game was originally given a release date of March, 2012, but in an investor call yesterday, publisher Take-Two announced that the game has been delayed.

2K Games has just announced the release date for XCOM, a tactical action game set in mid-century America for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. Players will lead a team of elite field agents into battle on March 6, 2012 in America, and March 9 worldwide. By using a combination of firearms and "sci-fi abilities," they will try to defeat an otherworldly enemy who looks to destroy and rebuild the world in their image.
