2K and 2K Marin, makers of BioShock 2, announced that Hangar 6 R&D, the add-on content pack for The Bureau: XCOM Declassified is available for download today worldwide for the Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft for $4.99 on Xbox Live. Set prior to the events of The Bureau, players take control of new protagonist Agent Nico DaSilva and his squad as they volunteer for a series of secret psycho-medical experiments to save a fellow Bureau agent infected with the “Sleepwalker” pathogen.

Hangar 6 R&D creates skin-of-your-teeth moments that challenge players’ mastery of The Bureau’s core tactical gameplay. The story-driven add-on content further explores the fascinating 1960s Cold War vibe by transporting players to an all-new clandestine location known only by Bureau agents as Hangar 6. Along with high-level squad mates and rich XP rewards, players now have access to even more dangerous weapons, such as the AK-47, and the prototype Microwave Gun that cooks enemies from the inside out. Agent DaSilva also has a new series of powers and perks based on his “plant and trigger” bomb abilities that allow players to better utilize the game’s most complex squad tactics.

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified is rated M for Mature by the ESRB and is available now for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, and Windows PC.

About The Bureau: XCOM Declassified

The year is 1962, JFK is President and the Cold War has the nation gripped by fear – but a far more powerful and insidious enemy than communism is threatening America. Known only to a select few, a top-secret government unit called The Bureau begins investigating and concealing a series of mysterious attacks by an otherworldly enemy. As special agent William Carter, players call the shots, pull the trigger and lead their squad in a gripping third-person tactical shooter set within a high-stakes, covert war to protect humanity. The Bureau has been erasing the truth for decades. The time has come for the truth to be revealed.
