Just a few hours after 2K Games released a new gameplay trailer for their upcoming third-person shooter, the publisher then outlined the DLC and pre-order bonuses for the game.
The post-launch downloadable content plans outlined today for ‘The Bureau: XCOM Declassified’ “will expand the declassified origin story of the clandestine XCOM organization” according to 2K Games and will be available on the PC, PS3 and the Xbox 360. 2K Games also announced that the first DLC pack will be available exclusively to Xbox 360 players.
Players that pre-order The Bureau: XCOM Declassified will receive a bonus mission called “Codebreakers,” as well as a powerful Light Plasma Pistol to start the game.
“We take great pride in our track record of providing high-quality post-release content for our games,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “We will continue to expand the XCOM universe by telling original stories set in the paranoia-drenched Cold War era of The Bureau.”
“The alternate 1962 universe that we’ve created for The Bureau is vast and there are many more stories to tell about the early days of XCOM,” said Morgan Gray, development director at 2K Marin. “We’re excited that our stories will provide a new perspective on the war effort, much like how our critically acclaimed Minvera’s Den DLC for BioShock 2 allowed us to present a unique perspective of Rapture.”
Players who pre-order The Bureau through any of the participating retailers will receive a bonus campaign side-mission called “Codebreakers.” In this mission, a top secret government communications facility responsible for intercepting and decoding the enemy’s transmissions has gone radio-silent. In a desperate attempt to turn the tides of the secret war, Special Agent Carter and his squad must make contact with personnel in order to bring the facility back online, eliminate any threats, and decrypt the mysterious code.
In addition to the Codebreakers side-mission, those who pre-order The Bureau through GameStop will receive the Light Plasma Pistol as an exclusive in-game item. Early Bureau research into outsider weapons technology has yielded promising results in the form of a prototype light plasma pistol. Not as bulky as its Outsider predecessor, this compact weapon fires condensed bolts of plasma and boasts a vastly improved rate-of-fire, giving players an early edge in the secret war for humanity’s survival.
The Bureau: XCOM Declassified is rated M for mature by the ESRB and will be available on August 20, 2013 in North America and August 23, 2013 internationally for $59.99 SRP on the Xbox 360 console, PlayStation 3 system and Windows PC.
