XCOM: Enemy Within Announced

XCOM_EW_Screen_007XCOM: Enemy Within is a recently announced expansion to last year’s brilliant turn-based strategy XCOM: Enemy Unknown, which looks to be improving the game on just about every front.

The expansion is set to add a new class (the Mech Trooper), a new set of genetic upgrades for your troopers who you don’t upgrade into mech troopers, 40 new maps to add to the original game’s 80, at least one new enemy and some undisclosed changes to the strategic-level gameplay, as well as a rebalancing of the existing skills. The expansion will be just that on the PC but it will also be releasing as a standalone title on Xbox 360 and PS3 and is set to come out on November 12, as you’ll see at the end of the teaser trailer below.
