XCOM 2 Is Coming

Commander, you are needed again. Turns out, the aliens are now in control of earth. How they managed this in this short amount of time is still a mystery to us. Your objective is clear: Reinstate XCOM, but let’s call it XCOM 2.
The enemy is called the Advent Administration and it’s everywhere, we believe. This means that we can’t give you a fixed home base, but how does a helicarrier called the Avenger sound? Don’t worry about copyright issues. We do not negotiate with alien terrorists. This will give XCOM 2 a mobile base from which you can initiate the resistance fight against the oppressors.
Talking about oppressors, they also upgraded their arsenal. Not only will you face off extraterrestrial scum like evolved Sectoids and Snake-liens (get it? Alien snakes?), but also fellow humans. But don’t hold back, because those aren’t your typical fast food eating, TV watching neighbors. The Advent government made it a top priority to genetically engineer our species, giving them powers and equipment that will most likely eclipse that of our troops.
So be smart, be stealthy, and if everything else fails: mod the game. To do so, you will be provided with access to a so called Steam Workshop. Don’t ask me what that is, but believe me when I say that you will need it. The battlefield is changing and so is the technology, literally, both is procedurally generated.
To get a visual overview of what we are facing, I’ve also attached a video at the top of this message. More information will follow in the coming weeks. Stay safe commander.
