That's a true sign of a widely-accepted game, but when it comes to redesigning elements for a sequel, Firaxis wasn't left with a whole lot of demand for changing their formula. For starters, there wasn't much about the first game that critics felt was missing, or fans rallied around in addressing the developers.
While fans and onlookers may have fully expected the critical and commercial success of Enemy Unknown to warrant a complete sequel (read our review for proof), this bit of news requires some context. These details are far from official, but given the track record of Steam Achievements outing major releases, we'd expect comment from the developers soon. It seems that 30 new Steam Achievements have been added for Enemy Unknown, implying that whatever Firaxis is up to will not be a brand new sequel to the XCOM reboot, but an expansion. The developers broke their silence in confirming that they would be making an announcement regarding Enemy Within at Gamescom later this month, but that may no longer be necessary. After Firaxis Games seemed happy to take their success with XCOM: Enemy Unknown as a chance to relax, rumors began circulating earlier this months about a mysterious property known as 'Enemy Within,' apparently tied to the franchise.
