XCOM’s creator wants to know where XCOM 3 is just as badly as you do: ‘I’m sure there’s an audience for it’

XCOM 2 was released nearly a decade ago, and anticipation for a sequel, XCOM 3, has grown, but its release remains uncertain. Julian Gollop, the creator of the original XCOM, acknowledges that strategy games are still a niche market, which poses challenges for new titles like XCOM 3. He notes the mixed reception of Civilization VII as an example of how established franchises can struggle. Gollop highlights innovation in the indie game scene with titles like Factorio, Tactical Breach Wizards, and The Last Spell. Other games, such as Jagged Alliance 3 and Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader, incorporate elements reminiscent of XCOM, reflecting its tactical depth and strategic gameplay. The future of XCOM 3 remains uncertain as the strategy gaming landscape evolves.

PSA: Getting annoyed by fall damage in Star Wars Outlaws? Grab this early game charm

In Star Wars Outlaws, players experience excessive fall damage, where even minor drops can significantly impact health. Health can be replenished using bacta vials, but each use depletes supplies, requiring players to loot or purchase more. To mitigate fall damage, players can acquire the Tooka Paw minor charm, which reduces fall damage significantly. The Tooka Paw can be found on the first main planet, Toshara, specifically at Typhon's Rock in the southern region of Mirogana within The Lost Steppe. To reach it, players must climb a stone wall, use a grapple point, navigate around a cliff, jump across gaps, and descend to the chest's location. Typhon's Rock also contains additional treasures, including encounters with Shuma the Rogue Trader and crafting materials, as well as access to a hidden area with the Ancient Hunter Carving major charm.
