Studio Snapshot Games recently announced that the release of their upcoming turn-based strategy game Phoenix Point has been pushed back to July. CEO and chief designer for Snapshot Julian Gollop and his brother, Nick, designed and developed famous video games such as Laser Squad, UFO: Enemy Unknown and X-COM: Apocalypse. In 2013, Julian left Ubisoft Sofia and decided to co-found Snapshot.
Phoenix Point in the Sofia-based studio's second squad-based tactics title possessing all of the depth, mystique and challenge you would expect from an X-COM spiritual successor. Gollop has said he hopes to incorporate design elements from titles such as Crusader Kings 2 and Civilization, creating a grander vision of world strategy while combining it with tense, third-person action from Enemy Unknown.
Snapshot has released the first official trailer for Phoenix Point that spotlights the aftermath of an alien invasion. Just like in the aforementioned X-COM series, you will have a chance to upgrade the main base, the player's primary interface for managing the strategic elements of Phoenix Point. The trailer also gives us a quick glimpse of the grotesque aliens themselves, so be sure to check it out below:
The human population has been decimated. Survivors gather in isolated havens spread throughout the world. A few factions control most of the havens and resources, but they have radically contrasting ideologies and guard deep secrets. The Phoenix Project is a worldwide organization designed to be activated when the world is in peril. You control one cell, gathering some of the world’s best scientists, engineers and soldiers. After your cell is activated, you realize that you have no contact with any other cells. You need to find out what happened to them.
Phoenix Point is coming to Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Mac OS in 2019.
