XCOM® 2: War of the Chosen, is the expansion to the 2016 award-winning strategy game of the year. XCOM® 2: War of the Chosen adds extensive new content in the fight against ADVENT when extra resistance factions form to end 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 extra 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 goal. 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 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. Use new Resistance Orders to focus on your personal strategy. Soldiers, scientists, and engineers can now be deployed for Covert Actions. That award supplies and boost faction favor if completed.   GREATER CUSTOMIZATION & REPLAYABILITY   Soldiers can develop bonds with compatible teammates for new abilities and perks. The SITREP system 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.   CHALLENGE MODE   Use the perfect strategy in new regular one-shot community challenges to claim the top spot on the global leaderboard.   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.
