Xenonauts is a turn-based science fiction video game developed and published as the maiden title of London-based independent game studio Goldhawk Interactive.[1] Inspired by the 1994 game X-COM: UFO Defense, gameplay involves the player taking the role of the commander of a clandestine organization known as the Xenonauts, and attempting to defeat an alien invasion of Earth in the alternative history year 1979.[2] The game was released on June 17, 2014 for Microsoft Windows.[3] Ports to Mac OS X and Linux were initially based on the Wine compatibility layer, until native ports became available in September 2015.[4] A sequel, Xenonauts 2, was released through early access in 2023.
