IGN has revealed today that the 2019 turn-based strategy game Phoenix Point (Behemoth Edition) will be arriving on Xbox One on October 1, with an Xbox Series X and Series S version to follow post-launch.
If you didn't know, Phoenix Point was created by X-COM's Julian Gollop and his Snapshot Games studio, and launched for PC back in December of 2019. It's a turn-based strategy game in which you "fight tactical battles on procedural maps against a foe that adapts to your tactics", and is actually included with Xbox Game Pass for PC.
The console edition will include the three previously released DLC packs, an updated UI and control scheme, a DLC weapons pack, and the aforementioned Xbox Series X and Series S upgrade, which will be free.
The strategy game from the creator of X-COM. Fight tactical battles on procedural maps against a foe that adapts to your tactics. Manage diplomacy and economy on a global scale. Research, explore, overcome.

Wasn’t the original announced for Game Pass way back when?
I've been waiting ages for this announcement, I think they originally said the console version would release late 2020. Pretty sure is was a day one release on Game Pass PC so hoping the console version gets the same treatment.
I’ll play this. The original X-Com is in my top 5 games ever. It’s still great to play today.
I will get this once that promised Series X/S upgrade is ready.
