We’re working on the sequel to one of the best loved PC franchises of all time. I think gamers are going to go nuts when they find out. So, why not come and talk to us about being part of it? </p></blockquote><p>Now <a href="http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/45797" target="_blank" title="Shack">Shack News</a> is reporting the rumor that the upcoming title is an official <strong>X-Com</strong> sequel.</p><blockquote><p>Irrational Games, developer of System Shock 2 as well as the upcoming BioShock (X360, PC), may be working on a successor to Microprose's PC tactical sci-fi classic X-COM: UFO Defense. Evidence suggesting the new game's existence comes by way of a resume found on the official website of law firm <a href="http://www.fierstpucci.com/">Fierst, Pucci & Kane, LLP</a>. It was listed in the CV of firm partner Frederick U. Fierst, which states that among Fierst's clients are "Ken Levine and Jonathan Chey, founders of Irrational Games LLC." The <a href="http://www.fierstpucci.com/cv/fierst.pdf">current version</a> of the document has had the pertinent reference removed, but a <a href="http://216.239.59.104/search?q=cacheOy_sRE0rVgJ:www.fierstpucci.com/cv/fierst.pdf+xcom&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=uk&client=firefox-a">cached version</a> of the document lists the following games as being credited to the Boston, Massachusetts- and Canberra, Australia-based developer (emphasis added): </p><blockquote>System Shock 2, Tribes 3, SWAT, <em>X-Com</em>, BioShock, Freedom Force</blockquote></blockquote>Keep in mind that this is still just a rumor at this point with no confirmation from Irrational or Take-Two Interactive, the current owner of the X-Com franchise.
