(This is a reference to the Avenger interceptor/troop carrier in 1994’s X-COM: UFO Defense, not Nick Fury’s helicarrier in Marvel’s 2012 Avengers movie.) Firaxis isn’t going into detail about its new version of XCOM’s strategy layer just yet, other than to say that territory control will be important. To avoid being pinpointed and obliterated, the old subterranean headquarters has been abandoned in favor of a mobile base, built on the frame of a captured and retrofitted alien cargo ship rechristened as the Avenger. We’re outmatched – even more so than before, as we’ve lost the home-field advantage, and the aliens have become even more powerful. “The situation is desperate: Earth is enemy territory, and in this reality XCOM never acquired the advanced weapons and armor technology that allowed us to go head-to-head with powerful aliens. The aliens have a weird idea of tourist attractions. They are commanding a very hardened group of freedom fighters and guerrilla fighters, and they’re leading them to ignite a global resistance and wake everyone up, and then try to rescue Earth from the government that now controls it."
“Players are no longer the commander of this elite military force. “XCOM never lost the war they just never stopped fighting and went underground,” explained Solomon. That represents a huge shift in context for both the strategic and tactical battles we’ll fight in XCOM 2. Down, But Not OutThe year is 2035, and XCOM now operates as a resistance movement against the alien occupation. More on that on Friday in Why XCOM 2 Had to be a PC-Only Game. And here’s another shocker: though XCOM: Enemy Unknown and XCOM: Enemy Within came out on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, XCOM 2 is a PC-exclusive game.
The aliens rule Earth from giant shining megacities where all the people of Earth are flocking that’s where they’re promised an easy life, a secure life free of disease.“ We’ll have much more on the new setting next week, in Impossible Ironman is Canon: Why Earth Had to Lose the War for XCOM 2 to Happen. And so, 20 years into the future, the world is a very different place. YES NOSolomon painted an alternate version of how the war unfolded: “When the aliens showed up, XCOM suffered massive casualties, and governments around the world crumbled in face of popular support to surrender.
