XCOM is getting a miniatures game from the company that brought Fallout to tabletop

The announcement came in the form of an admittedly spartan reveal website, which has a logo and a sign-up sheet for a mailing list.

It's got the logo style from XCOM: Enemy Unknown, and as far as I can tell, there is truly no public information aside from that.

Will it be a fully-fledged hobby wargame like Warhammer?

Something smaller-scale, cooperative, or soloable?

All we can do is guess, but Modiphius’s past games may offer some indication of what’s to come.

For one, the company has already done plenty of licensed videogame spinoffs, like the upcoming Doom Arena Board Game and miniatures games such as Fallout: Wasteland Warfare and Skyrim - The Adventure Game (the latter of which I didn't play per se, but I did paint up some Stormcloaks and Imperials so I could pretend they were all star-crossed lovers).

We'll have to wait for a more detailed reveal to draw any real conclusions about how the game will play, but it seems like Modiphius has a strong history with licensed games and the plastic goodies that come alongside them.

I, for one, am eager to try and pass a miniature Muton off as my next Dungeons & Dragons character.
