End of a long road
I always love it when the creators of a great mod strike out and make their own thing. That’s exactly what the minds behind the excellentXCOMmod,Long War, are doing. The team, now branded under the cheeky name ofLong War Studios, has started development on a title calledTerra Invictawhich is (you guessed it) a strategy game about defending earth from an alien invasion. No shame in sticking to what you know.
Don’t be quick to write it off as aXCOMclone, though. Given thedescription of the gameon Long War Studios’ site, and what the team was heading towards with theLong Warmod, there seems to be a greater emphasis on overall strategy and theater-level planning, rather thanXCOM‘s focus on the down and dirty tactical action of popping Sectoid heads.
Development is at a “pre-Kickstarter” level now, so don’t expect anything soon (except for a Kickstarter I guess), but I know that I’ll be keeping tabs on this one as it develops.
