XCOM 2
Set 20 years after XCOM; Enemy Unknown, XCOM 2 puts players back into the conflict between humans and aliens. With humanity facing defeat, the player – as the XCOM Commander – takes command of the Avenger, an alien supply barge which has been converted to a mobile base. From here, players can launch battles against enemies and recruit and improve their forces to help win back control of Earth from the alien menace. Helping to coordinate attacks is Central Officer Bradford (returning from Enemy Unknown) with Dr. Richard Tygan and Chief Engineer An-Yi Shen among the new faces in the sequel.
Alongside the customization features from Enemy Unknown, XCOM 2 will also feature stealth starts to each mission, the opportunity to loot corpses for items and also the ability to hack into enemy weapons. Players will also be able to use various melee weapons and utilize different soldier types and skills to achieve their goals. New ‘hit and run’ style missions will incorporate faster game-play into the story for a more well rounded experience.
XCOM 2 will be available on PC from February 5*
