The Bureau: XCOM Declassified publishers, 2K Games, have released a new promotional trailer for the upcoming release. The newest XCOM installment is set to release August 23rd, 2013. At this point it seems, the trailers are less about showing us what to expect from the game, and more about wowing us with their production value, the potential of the idea, and their writing.
This newest installment in the series of live-action trailers picks up and continues the story f government agents tracking alien activity some time in the 1960’s.
This trailer is almost all-live action, with a few CGI effects and sounds thrown in here and there. While it isn’t explicitly stated, we can assume that the trailer depicts an interrogation between a member of The Bureau and a captured member of the alien species against which you will be fighting. The trailer employs some clever camerawork and storytelling to keep us guessing but still get the point across without actually being overt and giving us a look at the creature.
The Bureau: XCOM Declassified is set to release August 23rd for Windows, Xbox 360, and PS3.
