Yep, XCOM: Enemy Within lands on November 12th this year in North America, and internationally on November 15th, and you'll be able to pick it up for PS3, Xbox 360, PC & Mac.
The expansion "takes the incredible experience from XCOM: Enemy Unknown and adds an array of new abilities, upgrades, and weapons to combat new enemy threats." as well as "provides players with all-new maps, tactical and strategic gameplay, and multiplayer content." Yeah, that means it's a an expansion. Which means you also have to own the original Enemy Unknown. So, what do you get?
According to the official blurb....

* Gene Mods: Construct the Genetics Lab to physically enhance operatives' abilities, including augmentations to the chest, brain, eyes, skin and legs.
* MECs: Build the Cybernetics Lab to enable the construction of the new Mechanized Exoskeletal Cybersuit, or MEC. The new MEC Trooper class has specialized abilities and each suit can be upgraded with new weapons including the flamethrower, grenade launcher and more.
* New Weapons and Equipment: Give operatives an extra tactical edge with new projects from the engineering team in the Foundry;
* New Enemy Threats: Adopt new tactics to counter the threats from a host of new enemies, including the Mechtoid;
