The image features the title "XCOM: The Miniatures Game" displayed in a futuristic, glowing font against a dark background. The text is stylized with a digital glitch effect, emphasizing a high-tech theme. Below the title, there are cautionary phrases: "THREAT LEVEL: CAUTIOUS // CLEARANCE: RESTRICTED," adding to the game's atmosphere of secrecy and urgency.

If you’re a computer gamer and a turn-based tactics fan then the chances are you have spent more than a few hours playing one of the XCOM series of video games. Modiphius Entertainment and Firaxis Games have just announced the XCOM: The Miniatures Game which will see a return to the events of XCOM: Enemy Unknown.

The image features two game boxes side by side. On the left, the "Unmatched Adventures - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" box showcases vibrant artwork of the four Ninja Turtles, with Raphael prominently displayed, along with the title and details about the game. On the right, the "Unmatched: Bruce Lee vs Muhammad Ali" box features striking illustrations of Bruce Lee and Muhammad Ali, highlighting their iconic poses, with the title prominently displayed at the top. Both boxes reflect the dynamic and competitive nature of the Unmatched game series.

Muhammad Ali, Bruce Lee, Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo and Leonardo all walk into a pizza joint… all are icons and classic fighters but that’s not the only similarity between them any longer. Now they have all been immortalised in two new Unmatched sets by Iello which will be hitting stores next week.
