XCOM: Ultimate Collection Announced; Launch Deal Reduces Price from Over $200 to Less Than $40

2K Games have announced the XCOM: Ultimate Collection bundle, with a introductory deal of 83% off the over $200 USD collection.

The tactical strategy RPG series XCOM was rebooted in 2012 by 2K Games and developer Firaxis Games with XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Players take command of Earth’s last line of defense against the alien invaders by building their base, gathering intel, and capturing aliens and their weapons for study.

XCOM 2 is an alternate future 20 years after the player fails their mission; joked by the developers it is the result of playing on the hardest difficulty modes. As Earth’s leaders surrender nigh-instantly, the player builds a resistance movement to push back the oppressors, and the humans who have sided with them.

Finally, XCOM: Chimera Squad takes place after that; where the aliens and humans have found a tenuous peace. Work with both humans and aliens as a special unit; tasked with keeping the peace in an experimental city where the two live alongside one another.

The Ultimate Collection features all the games’ DLC and expansions, and would typically sell for $229.88 USD. However, as a “special introductory pricing,” the collection is 83% off- taking the collection down to $39.14 USD. 2K Games did not specify when this deal would end.
