Asynchronous Multiplayer Mode Reveals Itself In XCOM: Enemy Unknown For iOS

October 10, 2013
XCOM: Enemy Unknown for iOS has just been updated with a new major feature. Released in the App Store last June, XCOM: Enemy Unknown is the iOS edition of the acclaimed console game of the same name. In this tactical role-playing game, you assume the role of the commander of XCOM, a paramilitary organization tasked with counterattacking alien adversaries:
Threatened by an unknown enemy, Earth’s governments unite to form an elite paramilitary organization, known as XCOM. As the commander of XCOM, you must create a fully operational base, research alien technologies, plan combat missions, and lead your soldiers in fierce battles against a terrifying alien invasion. The decisions you make will affect the fate of humanity. You are our last hope.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown received its first update early last August. That update delivered a number of improvements, including a long-awaited fix for a serious crashing bug.

Consequently, you can now create your own custom squad with troops human and alien alike, and then challenge your Game Center friends with it. Also including iOS 7 optimizations, new multiplayer leaderboards, and general bug fixes, the new version of XCOM: Enemy Unknown is out now in the App Store. Normally priced at $19.99, the game is currently available for $9.99. XCOM: Enemy Unknown is compatible with iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, fifth-generation iPod touch, iPad 2, third-generation iPad, fourth-generation iPad, and iPad mini.
