This is a true re-imagining of the cult classic turn based tactical strategy game of old (UFO Enemy Unknown), and it's being developed by Firaxis of Civilisation fame. It's actually the first game they're doing without Sid Meier's name in the title which I found oddly facinating in it's own right.

Complete color customization: A variety of colors and tints for all armor sets in the game allow players complete control to customize their squad’s look.
PC fans will also be able to get their hands on the Special Edition ($59.99USD) version of the game, which includes:
The PC version of the game
An art book
Fold-out poster of the XCOM HQ

Digital assets such as: Desktop wallpaper, soundtrack, and more.
Quite looking forward to this one - Not a game i would attempted to play a few years ago but my love for the first Dragon Age has me interested in this.
