A provisional release date was set as Autumn 2012. The benefits of pre-ordering included early beta access, as well as a price discount. In November 2010, the project launched a revamped website, announcing that they were accepting pre-orders. It was marketed as a Cold War-era based "planetary defense simulator" and as a direct competitor to 2K Marin's The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, which at the time had alienated many fans due to its FPS-based gameplay.

The game was heavily influenced by the X-COM series but is described by the development team as neither a remake nor a clone, but rather a "re-imagining". The Xenonauts implement a two-pronged plan to defeat the alien invasion - they develop and activate a hyperspace inhibition field, which prevents any future alien forces coming to Earth, then infiltrate the alien mothership and assassinate the High Praetor, rendering the entire alien fleet around Earth inactive.ĭevelopment of Xenonauts began in 2009.

Only the highest ranked "Praetors" truly have free will. Studying the aliens' biology reveals that they are extremely hierarchical, with the lowest ranked being mindless slaves.
While the Xenonauts are successful in shooting down and researching alien craft, weapons and biology, the alien forces in orbit are seemingly endless. The aliens attack military and civilian targets in an attempt to spread panic and destabilise Earth's defence. Initially only the smallest UFOs are able to fly in Earth's atmosphere, but the aliens quickly modify their ships to enable incursion by larger vessels. In November 1979 a huge alien fleet arrives in orbit. The governments of the world realise that a hostile interstellar alien race is too much for any of them to face alone, so the Xenonauts are founded to combat the alien menace if and when it returns. The United States and Soviet Union shoot down the UFO with nuclear missiles, which then self-destructs. In an alternate history 1958, an alien UFO enters Earth's atmosphere over Iceland and is immediately hostile to the fighters scrambled to intercept it.
