The idea of Firaxis doing an XCOM superhero variant actually sounds really good to me. I think it's an ideal genre for it. Mix in some initiative like in Chimera or Solasta and it's even better.
I love XCOM and especially XCOM2, but there isn't a whole lot more they can do with that other than rehash it, which is fine - but can wait a few more years.
The superhero things seems like a great way to do more tactical TBS without running XCOM into the ground.
Yeah, my thinking exactly. I don't know how much narrative they would do, and if they do a lot and someone hates superhero type stories, I can see how that might turn them off. But X-Com games are pretty barebones narratively, and to me they would be just like soldiers except with a whole host of different kinds of abilities. Like you, I think it is THE ideal genre for a superhero game.
