XCOM: Enemy Unknown release date October

2K Games and Firaxis have announced the launch of XCOM: Enemy Unknown to be 12 October.

The game will come with pre-order bonuses too, aptly named the 'Elite Soldier Pack' and will give you a number of customisations options as well as more "tools" for the destruction of the alien invaders.

The Elite Soldier Pack is:

• Classic X-COM Soldier: Players will instantly receive a new recruit in their barracks inspired by the original X-COM: UFO Defense. The iconic soldier with the blonde, flattop hairstyle will return in his full glory, modernised with the rest of the XCOM universe.
• Soldier Deco packs: Players can customize their soldier with several aesthetic upgrades to armour suits, including the new Hyperion and Reaper soldier armour kits.
• Complete colour customisation: A variety of colours and tints for all armour sets in the game allow players complete control to customise their squad’s look.
