If you're looking to step into the fray of X-Com:Enemy Unknown early and own a PC, look no further.
On the 24th September, 2K Games announced that a free, playable demo of X-Com:Enemy Unknown will be available to all Steam users.
The short demo for X-Com:Enemy Unknown will guide players through the first two tutorial levels of the campaign. Throughout they will learn the basic combat controls, gain some tactical know-how and get to grips with the strategic layers of the game as they battle to save humanity against an alien threat. The demo will also introduce players to the X-Com Base, where players can familiarise themselves with the soldier training and alien researching options to ensure they are fully prepared for the battles ahead.
If you're a fan of the series, or think it looks pretty neat, you might want to consider pre-ordering the game at select digital retailers to gain access to the Elite Soldier Pack. This pack contains some customisation options for your squad within the game such as:
Classic X-Com Soldier: The iconic blonde flat top soldier from the original X-Com games that any fan of the franchise will recognise.
Soldier Deco Packs: Customise your soldier with several visual upgrades to your armor suits, including the Hyperion and Reaper armor kits.
Complete Colour Customisation: A selection of colours and tints that allow the player full control over how their squad looks.
Fans looking for that bit extra with a physical copy of the game can pre-order at select retailers that are stocking a Special Edition of X-Com: Enemy Unknown.This comes complete with a PC copy of the game, Artbook, Soundtrack, Fold-out poster, an X-Com Insignia Patch and a whole host of digital goodies as well as the Elite Soldier Pack for you to enjoy.
