XCOM 2 delayed to 2016

XCOM 2 was set for release in November 2015, now that's not going to happen.

Developers Firaxis have put out an official statement on the matter, and it's a pretty positive message for everyone involved:

Hello XCOM fans,

We want to give you an update on the release date for XCOM 2. We’ve set a high bar for the sequel and the entire team has been working hard to make sure we deliver a great follow-up to Enemy Unknown. We just need a little more time to make it the best possible game.

With XCOM 2, we want to have more depth, more replayability, and more investment in your soldiers and this extension will give us the time we need to deliver on our promise to you.

We appreciate your patience and continued support as we move towards February. Good luck, Commander!

-The XCOM 2 Dev Team

Extra polish is something no fan would ever want to deny an upcoming game, especially when so many major titles get released in a fashion which doesn't seem at all finished these days. Hopefully the extra months will give them the time to make the game really shine.

XCOM 2 is the sequel to 2012's XCOM Enemy Unknown and a follow on from the long running series. It presents turn based strategic combat in a world overrun by alien invaders. Here's the trailer.

XCOM 2 is coming to PC on the 5th of February 2016.
