XCOM 2 coming to PC this November

XCOM 2

2K Games and Firaxis Games are pleased to announce that XCOM 2, sequel to the award winning XCOM: Enemy Unknown, is coming to Windows PC this November 2015.

According to 2K Games, XCOM 2 will transport players 20 years into the future, where humanity lost the war against the alien threat that has established a new world order. The secret paramilitary organization known as XCOM is largely forgotten and must strike back to reclaim control of Earth and free mankind from the aliens’ rule. Those who have played Enemy Unknown several years ago will find the plot to be similar.

In XCOM 2, the roles have been reversed, and XCOM is now the invading force. They are hampered by limited resources and must constantly evade the alien threat in their new mobile headquarters. Players must use a combination of firepower and stealth-like tactics to help XCOM recruit soldiers and build a resistance network, while attempting to expose the evil alien agenda and save humanity.

XCOM 2 will introduce gameplay features such as procedurally-generated levels, which will make each experience unique to the player, as well as offer a much deeper level of modding support. Additionally, XCOM 2 will offer a variety of new content including five updated soldier classes, increased soldier customization, more alien and enemy types, evolved tactical combat and more.

With E3 coming up in just a few weeks, we’re expecting 2K Games to show more of XCOM 2. Check back with us during E3 week for our coverage! Stay tuned!
