Twenty years have passed since Earth's leaders offered an unconditional surrender to alien forces. XCOM, the planet’s last line of defense, was left decimated and scattered. The aliens rule Earth, building shining cities that promise a brilliant future for humanity on the surface, while concealing a sinister agenda and eliminating all who dissent from their new order.
Always on the run, and facing impossible odds, the remnant XCOM forces must find a way to eliminate the alien threat once and for all. That's where you come in:
TAKE COMMAND of the Avenger, an alien supply craft converted to serve as XCOM's mobile and customizable headquarters. RECRUIT RESISTANCE FIGHTERS with five distinct skill trees and assemble the perfect squad to fit your playstyle and execute your tactical plans. RESEARCH, DEVELOP AND UPGRADE weapons and armor for your soldiers aboard the Avenger. Turn the aliens' technology against them! TACKLE UNIQUE MISSIONS around the world, from wildlands to the hearts of alien-controlled megacities and the depths of alien installations. Countless combinations of maps, missions, and goals await. EMPLOY GUERRILLA TACTICS to ambush alien patrols, loot enemy gear and artifacts, and rescue fallen comrades and VIPs. CONFRONT POWERFUL ENEMIES including previously unseen alien species and the regime's ADVENT peacekeeping forces. TEST YOUR SKILLS in head-to-head multiplayer battles that pit squids of humans and aliens against each other on randomly generated maps.
