XCOM: Enemy Unknown will probe iOS

The popular turn-based strategy game XCOM: Enemy Unknown is adding yet another platform to the already existent PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. Firaxis Games and 2K will be working hard for the next few months to get this title on iOS devices. You’ll be able to protect the earth from alien assault on the go now. The human race needs you.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown is compelling, challenging, and tense. You’ll build up your team, customize the members to have the abilities and skills you want, and eventually put their names on a memorial wall in your headquarters for falling in battle. There are few things as exciting as finishing a map without losing anyone, but there is nothing sadder than losing a fully upgraded character. So much strategy and heartbreak…
