2K Games has released a new trailer for its upcoming tactical shooter—The Bureau: XCOM Declassified. The trailer, dubbed the #YOLO trailer, explains in a tongue-in-cheek way that the game will have permadeath for your squad mates. This means that you will have to be careful when giving orders to your squad mates and try to not get them killed. Check it out:
Permadeath adds a whole new level of strategy to the game, as one wrong command could potentially kill a high level squad mate whom you’ve spent the last five missions leveling up. As the trailer says, “One bad leader can kill everyone”. The trailer then cuts to the leader giving a series of bad decisions while squad mates yell out “YOLO” and run to their deaths.
Earlier, 2K had released a trailer that showed off some of the tactical decisions that the player will be able to make . It also gives a good look at the interface. Developer 2K Marin has opted for a radial interface so as to make the game work better with controllers in mind. The radial menu essentially pauses the game and lets the player make tactical decisions such as laying mines, using psychic abilities or straight-out shooting things.
Recently, Take-Two Games’ distributor in India, e-Xpress Interactive, had announced that the game will be making its way to Indian stores on August 23. The game will cost Rs 2,499 on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, while the PC version will cost Rs 999.
