Hello, Commander. Many of our operatives have fallen in the fight to protect Earth from the alien invasion. To honor their memory, we have provided a means to commemorate their courageous efforts. Though they are gone, they will not be forgotten.

The Slingshot Content Pack is the first content pack released for the critically acclaimed XCOM: Enemy Unknown. In a new set of linked Council missions, the player will meet an enigmatic Triad operative named Zhang, divert an alien ship’s course, and do battle with the aliens in the skies over China.

Already on your 5th playthrough of Classic Ironman and need more content? We’re happy to announce two new single player content packs that will be available for all platforms.

Today we are kicking off the brand new 2K podcast with two episodes completely dedicated to XCOM: Enemy Unknown! You’ll hear from several of the developers at Firaxis as they talk about the process of developing the game.

This Thursday, we’re pitting 2K Senior Community Manager Greg Laabs against Pete Murray for a multiplayer battle of wits throw-down in XCOM: Enemy Unknown’s multiplayer mode, live on Twitch.tv.

If you are a fan of Team Fortress 2 items and/or free video games, you’re in luck. The folks over at Steam are running a pre-purchase rewards program, and it works like this:  If enough people pre-order XCOM: Enemy Unknown , they will unlock 3 exclusive XCOM-themed items in Team Fortress 2. If even more people pre-order, they will unlock a free copy of Firaxis’ Civilization V (you can gift it if you already own it).

The time has finally come: you can now pre-order XCOM: Enemy Unknown from any of our various digital retail partners. I know a lot of you have been holding out to pre-order the game from your store of choice, and now it’s possible.

Simply dress up as the Thin Man from XCOM: Enemy Unknown and stop by our booth for a 2K Community VIP badge that will let you skip the lines (it will get you in to play XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Borderlands 2, AND the XCOM: EU panel on Saturday)!
