Last year's critically-acclaimed strategy game XCOM: Enemy Unknown is coming to the iPhone and iPad this summer, according to publisher 2K Games.

An iOS port isn't itself that novel — Rockstar Games, for example, has been re-releasing classics like Grand Theft Auto III and Max Payne since 2011, as have veteran gaming companies like Sega, Capcom, and Square Enix. What sets XCOM apart is that it's a AAA title with high production value that's less than six months old (it launched October 9th for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PC) — and 2K Games is promising this will be a "full port" of the game, except for a few maps that were cut to meet Apple's size limitations.

The game is being worked on by 2K China with original developer Firaxis providing "guidance," according to Polygon. The company released a video showing a working version of XCOM: Enemy Unknown on the iPad with full touchscreen implementation — a "touch interface is sort of uniquely suited to strategy games, especially turn-based strategy games," notes the original game's lead developer Jake Solomon.

No word on if iPad / iPhone versions would be sold separately, but a 2K representative did tell Polygon that XCOM would be a premium-priced app.
