Looking Forward To It The Bureau: XCOM Declassified PC

I've been looking forward to 2K's XCOM reboot/spinoff (bootoff?) since before XCOM: Enemy Unknown was even a thing, and I still am -- as a Mass Effect-y take on a Cold War-era alien invasion, I feel like there's a lot of potential. And as far as I can tell, this idea is still intact in the game's rebranding as "The Bureau." But what strikes me as - not necessarily worrying, but odd - about the recent trailers is the overwhelming focus on government secrets and classified information. If this is a hint at a deep and convoluted story, great! But it's a totally unexpected angle, given that the game was previously "about" going all-out on aliens and their weird technology.

I guess, the concern in the back of my head is that this is an empty marketing gesture, like the dramatic slow-mo trailers that led up to Dead Island. If the classified-info angle isn't, in fact, reflected in the game - that is, if 2K has decided to market The Bureau based on the hypothetical allure of its setting, rather than on the game's actual content - then that means they can't have much confidence in the game itself. Which wouldn't be a huge surprise for a project in development over seven years and three studios.
