The Bureau: XCOM Declassified Teamwork Footage

With the next XCOM title taking a slightly more hands-on approach, you might think it’d be less tactical than the last time round. Well think again – as this footage shows, the tactical teamwork elements are very much alive.

The Bureau is a squad-based tactical shooter that challenges players to customize agents, create tactical game plans and execute them in real-time using an interface called “Battle Focus.” As demonstrated in this video, the Battle Focus interface, combined with the player’s own tactical thinking, makes it entirely possible to win engagements without the player ever firing a shot of their own.
