2K Marin's XCOM shooter recently had all its official assets removed from the internet, which now appears to be prep work for the re-reveal of the game later this week. 2K Games posted this morning that in the coming days the XCOM "squad-based tactical shooter in development at 2K Marin" will be shown again.

It was a little surprise back in February when Take-Two (2K Games' parent company) announced during its financial call that the XCOM shooter was still in production and expected before March 31, 2014.

Firaxis' refresh of the original strategy game, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, launched last year to "critical and commercial success." Conspiracy theories circled that the ever-delayed XCOM shooter, announced at E3 in 2011, was merely a marketing ploy to show how good players had it by the time the strategy game was announced. Apparently we're about to live in a world where two genres of XCOM live in peaceful coexistence (for a time, anyway).
