'XCOM 2' Release Date Rumors: 2K Games Details Digital Deluxe Edition For February 2016 Release

The turn-based tactics video game "XCOM 2" was announced in June 2015 with an original release date in November. Come August however, the game's developer and publisher announced that the game has been delayed to February 5, 2016 to give the developer more time to "polish" the game. With only a few months left before its release, publisher 2K Games has shared some details about the Digital Deluxe Edition of the game, including what expansion packs gamers should expect for the game.

According to a report in Gamespot, the game is still on schedule for a release on February 5, 2016 but only for PC, Mac and Linux. There are reports that console versions of the game may come later but this has not been confirmed by either the developer or the publisher.

Fans of the "XCOM" franchise have been waiting for more than three years for another game in the series, which is said to be a reboot of the original "XCOM" series. The 2012 game "XCOM: Enemy Unknown" was the first game in this reboot series.
