Phoenix Point

Phoenix Point is the new strategy game from Julian Gollop, the designer of the original X-COM series. Our crowdfunding campaign was launched on fig.co on April 25th, 2017 and we reached our $500,000 goal in less than a week. The game has been in development for a year, and is due to be released in Q4 2018.

“Phoenix Point Is The Fusion Of XCOM And Fallout We All Want” - Logan Booker, Kotaku

“Phoenix Point promises to recapture the spirit of his original series” - Chris Bratt, Eurogamer

“With its inter-faction diplomacy and strategic simulation, Phoenix Point excites me far more than a more direct attempt to tap into the memory of X-COM would have done” - Adam Smith, Rock, Paper, Shotgun
