More On: XCOM 2

I'm along with tons of other XCOM fans are still hurting after the news that XCOM 2 would be delayed to February 2016, but delays are usually for the best. Even though we are all still waiting, we did get a pretty bad ass "Retaliation" trailer to get us hyped. 

In the trailer we get an awesome looks at the soldier classes in action, character customization, the XCOM base, and of course the aliens that we will have to eradicate. Awesome stuff! 

We also got the news of the "Digital Deluxe Edition" which is now available to purchase for $74.99. The Reinforcement Pack includes the following... 

  • Anarchy's Children: Rebellion themed content and more dramatic soldier customizations (spring 2016)
  • Alien Hunters: A new mission as an elite alien hunting unit tracking down ruler aliens. Includes a new mission, soldier customization and more powerful weapons and armor (summer 2016)
  • Shen's Last Gift: A brand new soldier class with ungradeable weapons, armor and customization features along with a new narrative-driven mission and map (summer 2016)

Those who pre-order either XCOM 2 or the Digital Deluxe Edition will also geet the Resistance Warrior Pack which gives you additional soldier customization, bonus outfits, head gear and custom facial war paint. The pack also includes the "Survivor of the Old War" an XCOM recruit who appears in the barracks. 

XCOM 2 is scheduled for a February 5, 2016 release and will only be on Windows PC. For the time being at least.
