XCOM spiritual successor Phoenix Point launches a colossal update inspired by its best mod, and it's 60% off right now
I'm just as eager to see the words XCOM 3 as any tactics enthusiast, yet there's still no word on a return for one of the best strategy games on PC. We're on the brink of the ten-year anniversary of XCOM 2, and most of its core designers have moved on from Firaxis Games. But spiritual successor Phoenix Point, built by the original X-COM creator Julian Gollop and his team at Snapshot Games, has just launched a vast overhaul that might well scratch the itch. Dubbed the Firebird update, this colossal free upgrade is heavily inspired by its most popular mod, and has been built alongside the team that made it. The result is a rebirth worthy of the game's name, and it's under half price to celebrate.
