2K’s “Advent” is actually a new XCOM game; we’ll learn more soon

Clever Redditors have discovered that 2K’s new “Advent” website is actually for a new XCOM game.

Want to know why? Strap in for the ride.

Hidden on the Advent site is this page. It also hides the letters G, F, I, L, O and D, and links to another pamphlet.

That pamphlet is hiding the letters N, C, O, V and O.

All of those letters combined are an anagram; rearranged, they say, “Vigilo Confido” — the motto found on the XCOM badge in XCOM: Enemy Unknown.

Sounds legit to us, though we’ll know for sure when 2K reveals more about this upcoming game in the next few hours.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
