The Bureau: XCOM Declassified live action trailer lets gamers choose the fate of Agent Ennis Cole

2K Games have releases a live-action trailer for The Bureau: XCOM Declassified with two notable features; firstly it stars Dominic Monaghan as Agent Ennis Cole (of Lost and Lord of the Rings fame) and secondly (and more importantly) it puts unto the viewer the decision of Cole’s fate. The clip starts off with Cole typing down a report regarding the first Pima Incident in 1962, wherein hostile aliens deployed a ship for the first time targeting civilians, which despite the efforts of the Bureau resulted in a notable list of civilian casualties, including his wife and son. At the end of this, Cole is faced with a choice; so tweet #GrabTheGun or #GrabTheBottle by 24 July to decide his fate.

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified releases on 20 August in North America and 23 August in Europe on the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3. Meanwhile, check out some gameplay footage showcasing tactics as well as the varied UI at these links.
