He is an unhinged psionic martyr who worships the Elders and wants nothing more than to please them with your demise by his hands. Let’s take a closer look.įirst, we have the Warlock. The Chosen are leading the ADVENT Coalition now. But be smart, because you will lose many Special Forces Operatives (SFO) to their attacks if you aren’t. They’re very powerful, especially early on, so don’t let them have their way or you will pay for it. What, you thought XCOM was the only enemy the aliens faced on Earth?įirst up are the Chosen. Who are the new enemies? Well, not to spoil too much, but they are the new “Avatars” of the Elders who appear to be a human/alien hybrid guerilla force that was put together to battle XCOM and the other resistance factions. All in all, this new expansion adds A LOT. In addition, there are more mission types, mechanical changes to the game, additional environments, an updated strategic layer, a photo-booth (for propaganda and fan service purposes), added replayability, and continued mod support. WotC brings us three new enemies and the three factions that fight them, some new alien and ADVENT troops to battle, and the “Lost.” They’ve also thrown in some new options to further customize the Avenger. Finally, it rounds out the game with a new class in the Shen’s Last Gift story pack. WotC also adds new weapons, armors, and boss aliens with the Alien Hunters story DLC. It plugs in the cosmetic post apocalyptic aesthetic of Anarchy’s Children, Resistance Warriors Pack, and Reinforcement Pack into the vanilla experience. How does it manage to do that? Well, it incorporates all of the DLC (that you might need to acquire, if you haven’t already) that came out for the base game. It is amazing and completely changes the first 2/3 of the base XCOM 2 experience. Īnyway, let’s not get sidetracked with naming schemes. The development team did this once before when they released XCOM: Enemy Within for the vanilla version of XCOM: Enemy Unknown. This is nothing new for the veterans of the new XCOM series from Jake Solomon. It is a full-on expansion in the form of a reboot of the vanilla game. XCOM 2: War of the Chosen by Firaxis is not a sequel. Your avatar is barely able to hold the teleportation gate open for your elite squad to escape this hell. You have finally discovered the secret of the Elders after a brutal final battle at their secret headquarters deep below the surface of the Pacific ocean. It has been a long and arduous journey to get here, Commander.
