Take command of Earth’s last line of defence when pre-orders go live in July.

Deploy your elite squad of operatives to battle increasingly deadly alien threats, research new technologies, and expand XCOM HQ.

Built on the acclaimed Five Parsecs From Home rules system, the game delivers a dynamic campaign experience where every decision matters and every casualty is felt.

The Core Rulebook will contain everything you need to defend Earth, including squad progression, procedural mission generation, tactical combat, base development, and even a PvP mode where another player commands the alien forces!

Launching alongside the rulebook is the first wave of multipart resin miniatures, featuring iconic units from the XCOM universe.

Players will be able to field XCOM operatives against classic threats, including Sectoids, Thin Men, Floaters, Chryssalids, and Seekers.

Future waves will expand the conflict with even more fan-favourite units, including Mutons, Cyberdiscs, MEC Troopers, Sectopods, and the treacherous EXALT.

Sign up now at xcomminiaturesgame.com and stand by for deployment.

The invasion begins in July...

Just a heads up, there was already an open thread about the game here:

Thanks goffnob - had a quick look and couldn't see anything (and search is still broken).

**goffnob deffsmakka**

No problem, I was confused that this wasn't that thread and went to look for it on the second page. Maybe repost there so a mod can close this duplicate?

**kirotheavenger**

Looks cool though, I'm really glad they went for the XCOM Enemy Unknown alien designs over the XCOM2 ones.

Sounds like it'll play like their book based games like Mass Effect?

my guess is they're adapting their "Fallout: Wasteland Warfare" game to the Xcom setting. i'm guessing the Xcom:EU focus was chosen for its distinctive style for both factions, and if the game sells well they'll eventually add the Xcom2 factions as expansions

No need to speculate, they've specifically said it's based on 5 Parsecs From Home.

**kirotheavenger**

Looking at reviews of 5 Parsecs from Home it seems to be a well received rules-lite RPG game?
But it sounds like the actual combat is quite weak, being simplistic and easy. Which would be a shame if so, I've found found the combat to be XCOM's strong point rather than the base bit
