XCOM shooter website and official videos taken offline

It appears 2K has pulled the official website and privatized the YouTube videos for its XCOM shooter.

Noticed by Digital Trends, the tactical shooter was announced in 2010 for a 2011 release, but was delayed into 2012.

In May 2012, Take-Two announced during its fiscal results the game had been delayed once again, and would release sometime during fiscal year 2014 - meaning the game could release anytime between now and April 30 2014.

Last month, a report from Superannuation stated that the game may be in the process of a re-brand due to domain registrations for "thebureau-game.com" and "whathappenedin62.com" popping up.

A report from October 2012 suggested the game had been changed from a tactical FPS into a third-person shooter. Leaked screenshots seemed to corroborate the claim.

When contacted by Polygon, a 2K representative stated that they had "no comment about the sites being down today."

When visiting the website, we receive a 404 error, and when checking out the official 2K YouTube Channel, the videos are no where to be found.
