Infogrames has opened a
product page for X-COM Alliance, providing the first life sign for this squad-based Unreal-powered action title by MicroProse in more than a year. In August 2000 the game was announced to be slipping into last year (
story) but its development was then thought to be in jeopardy after the acquisition of Hasbro Interactive by Infogrames (
story). Oddly enough, the
Infogrames PC CDROM overview page indicates the game should be "Available in Stores" but that is likely just the default text upon a title's entry into that list, and there is no information on how far along in development the game now is. The product page describes the game's premise and offers a few small screenshots, but most if not all of those are already familiar.
