A tired but resourceful former cop delays an alien invasion. It sounds like the eventual outcome of the never-ending Die Hard franchise, but for now it's the picture of Take-Two's first quarter of 2012. We didn't think there'd be room forMax Payne 3 (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/09/08/max-payne-3-emerging-in-march-2012-multiplayer-included/) and 2K Marin's overhauled XCOM (http://www.joystiq.com/game/xcom) in the same month, and now the latter project has been bumped into the publisher's fiscal year 2013.
Originally scheduled to launch on March 6, 2012, the promising (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/13/xcom-preview-mass-affect/) tactical shooter is expected sometime between April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013. XCOM's public invasion has moved ahead in jolts since it was first announced, but has grown quiet in recent months following rumors of layoffs (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/10/20/rumor-2k-marin-in-australia-hit-by-layoffs/) at 2K's Australian studio.
At least it's a chance for humans and aliens to agree on something: these things are never easy to plan.
