Unlike previous XCOM games, The Bureau: XCOM Declassified will allow players to take on aliens in a real-time third-person shooter, rather than in an isometric turn-based tactical game. Creative director at 2K Marin Morgan Gray says that the game won’t be a typical run-and-gun shooter.

“What we’re attempting to do is a third-person squad-based tactical shooter,” Gray said. “Putting you right there in the field. No more sitting back, watching everything unfold from a god’s eye view.”

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified hits North America on August 20 and the rest of the world three days later. The game will sell for $59.99 USD for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
