Bioshock developer Irrational Games is being linked with the return of the much-loved X-COM strategy series.
A report on Shacknews is pointing to a resume allegedly discovered on the site of a law firm with ties with Irrational founders Jonathan Chey and Ken Levine, in which X-COM - along with System Shock 2, Tribes 3, SWAT, Bioshock and Freedom Force - is credited to the developer.
It's set speculation bells ringing that X-COM is to return. Adding further fuel to the speculation fire is the fact that Take-Two, Irrational Games' owner, also owns the X-COM property.
On top of that, our colleagues on PC Zone magazine learned during a trip to Irrational offices to see Bioshock last year that the developer is working on a old title which had a 'crappy interface' and which is being completely reworked from scratch. Hmm...
Take-Two responded with "no comment" when contacted about Irrational Games working on a new X-COM game earlier, and we're filing the return of X-COM in our rumour drawer for now. But keep 'em peeled.
