The internet is so cool, you guys. Check this out: Gamasutra recently did a feature on the XCOM first-person shooter reboot that’s currently in development at 2K Marin. Julian Gollop, creator of the original X-Com: UFO Defense just happened to pop into the comments of said article to give his opinion on the current sorry state of the turn-based strategy genre, and revealing he’s “now working on a turn-based tactical RPG which will be a 3DS launch title.” Thanks, the internet! You’re just full of surprises.
According to some investigation from TinyCartridge, Gollop’s LinkedIn profile states he’s been at Ubisoft Bulgaria/Sofia the past three years — and Ubisoft has a turn-based strategy game titled Ghost Recon: Lead The Ghosts in the works for Nintendo’s three-dimensional handheld. We’ve contacted Ubisoft to see if this cyclically-titled Clancy jam is indeed Gollop’s next opus.
