Julian Gollop has announced that sci-fi strategy game and X-COM spiritual successor, Phoenix Point, will no longer release in June, as previously anticipated. The game is now scheduled to launch this September.
Phoenix Point pits humanity against ever-evolving alien horrors, and its mix of turn-based squad combat and base building has been described as "a continuation and evolution" of the ideas seen in Gollop's classic 1994 strategy title X-COM.
That pitch was intriguing enough to help Gollop and his studio Snapshot Games secure $765,948 through crowdfunding in June 2017. Back then, Phoenix Point was expected to arrive at the tail-end of 2018 but, last May, Gollop told backers that he'd made the decision to delay release until June 2019 in order to properly realise the game's potential.
