XCOM 2: War of the Chosen (DLC)

This expansion is for players who already finished XCOM 2 and want the campaign to bite harder and stay unpredictable. The threat here is not an abstract enemy but specific foes who know your soldiers and interfere on both the tactical and strategic levels. The mood is tense, with little room to breathe. The highlights: - The first hours go to getting to know three new factions: each has its own approach and heroes, and your choice between them changes how you run the campaign. - The Chosen feel different from one campaign to the next, so you have to work out their weaknesses again instead of reusing the same plan. - The new alien Phantom copies your soldiers, so your usual tactical combos need rebuilding. - New missions and battle conditions break up the usual rhythm.

XCOM® 2: War of the Chosen adds extensive new content in the fight against ADVENT when additional resistance factions form in order to eliminate the alien threat on Earth. In response, a new enemy, known as the “Chosen,” emerges with one goal: recapture the Commander. This expansion includes new Hero classes to counter the “Chosen”, new enemies, missions, environments and increased depth in strategic gameplay. NEW FACTIONS & HERO CLASSES Three additional factions have emerged to strengthen Earth's resistance - the Reapers, Skirmishers and Templars - each with its own unique abilities and contrasting philosophies. These factions provide powerful hero class soldiers to aid in missions and new opportunities for the strategy layer. THE CHOSEN The Chosen are the most cunning enemies XCOM has ever faced, each with unique strengths and weaknesses that will be introduced with each new campaign. The Chosen are on the hunt for the Commander and will kidnap, interrogate, and kill XCOM’s soldiers to complete their objective. The Chosen can also invade the strategy layer and ravage XCOM’s global operations. Find and raid the Chosen’s strongholds to defeat the enemy for good. NEW ALIEN & ADVENT THREATS A deadly new alien known as the Spectre, capable of creating dark copies of XCOM soldiers, has snuck onto the battlefield. Adopt new tactics to counter it as well as the explosive attacks of the ADVENT Purifier and the psionically charged ADVENT Priest. NEW ENVIRONMENTS AND MISSION OBJECTIVES Engage in tactical missions across new environments from abandoned cities devastated by alien bioweapons during the original invasion, to underground tunnels and xenoformed wilderness regions. ENHANCED STRATEGY LAYER Manage XCOM’s relations with factions and counter The Chosen’s operations from the Avenger. Employ new Resistance Orders to prioritize your personal strategy. Soldiers, scientists, and engineers can now be deployed for Covert Actions that award supplies and boost faction favor if successfully completed. GREATER CUSTOMIZATION & REPLAYABILITY Soldiers can develop bonds with compatible teammates for new abilities and perks. The SITREP system dynamically adds new modifiers to the tactical layer to make sure every mission provides a unique challenge. Advanced campaign options allow for finer adjustments to game length and difficulty. SHARE THE RESISTANCE Customize and pose your soldiers, then add filters, text and backgrounds to generate your own unique resistance posters that appear in-game and can be shared with friends. Requires XCOM® 2 game. Sold separately.
