As we told you yesterday, Ken Levine of BioShock fame isn’t working on a new X-Com title, but that isn’t stopping 2K Studio Marin and 2K Australia from reviving the X-Com franchise from a turn-based strategy game into a new first person shooter oriented game that still uses the strategy and turn-based style from the original.

While people have wanted an updated X-Com title for years, it is actually surprising that the other BioShock studio would be leading the development charge on this one. It will be interesting to see what they come up with, but as you can imagine word is that it will be the X-Com universe from a new perspective and a different experience. What more could we ask for?
