XCOM 2 In Development by Firaxis Games

The Advent teaser site's game has been unveiled.

2K Games have announced that XCOM 2 is currently under development by Firaxis Games. XCOM 2 will be the sequel to the award winning turn-based strategy XCOM: Enemy Unknown, which pits the XCOM paramilitary team against an alien invasion, with some early screenshots available here.

Set 20 years into the future, XCOM 2 depicts a future where humanity has lost the war against the alien invasion and the new alien overlords have established a new world order. The XCOM team is in shambles and forgotten, and must fight back against the new alien overlords and reclaim Earth.

Aside from the new strategic depth offered by the role reversal in re-imagining the sequel where the XCOM team is hampered by limited resources while they build up the resistance network, there will be new gameplay features, such as procedurally-generated levels that create an unique experience for every player, enhanced combat systems, as well as the possibility of modding support. There will be new content such as updated soldier classes, increased soldier customization, new alien and enemy types and more.

XCOM 2 is currently scheduled for release in November 2015 on the PC and also coming to Mac and Linux via Feral Interactive.
