From the developer behind the Civilization series, XCOM is an award-winning, deeply engrossing strategy game. With the Earth under attack by a super-advanced alien race, players command an elite paramilitary organization called XCOM to repel the extraterrestrial offensive and defend humanity. In The Art of XCOM, readers get a behind-the-scenes look at the incredible concept art created for the series and hear from key developers and artists about the challenges, secrets, and rewards of creating this landmark series.
For each video game that is made, there are hundreds and sometimes thousands of pieces of concept art and touchstone imagery that is never seen by the public. The art that was created during the development of XCOM 2 is so good, we couldn’t let it suffer the unseen fate that has befallen so much concept art before it - and so we’ve asked Insight Editions to compile it all into one massive tome.
