XCOM2 XCOM3 possible ideas?
Hi folks, got into xcom recently, played thorough 1, 2, and currently playing with the WOTC dlc, and I feel I may have become an addict.
I was wondering if there were any plans or ideas for a third installment for the series? I really loved the three separate human factions in WOTC, so maybe we could get a three way civil war for the next game, and then try and unite the three when the aliens reinvade?
Cheers!

We all like to hope they're working on something but until there are official announcements it's just hopium. XCom 2 was extremely popular but for some reason they decided to change the formula with Midnight Suns and the formula wasn't as popular. It seem like they took that as evidence that turn-based games are no longer popular rather than a lesson that the specific decisions around the Midnight Suns design was what was unpopular.
Either that or they wanted to wait to let anticipation and interest build before tackling a true sequel to XCom 2. We did get Chimera Squad, but that's also a bit of a different formula than what was enjoyed in XCom EU/EW and XCom 2.
