The expansion includes new Hero classes to counter the “Chosen”, new enemies, missions, environments and increased depth in strategic gameplay.

XCOM 2 is the sequel to XCOM: Enemy Unknown, the 2012 award-winning strategy game of the year. It sounds a bit Shadowrun-y, mixing cyberpunk with dragons and metahumans and magic and whatnot. Beyond that, they're planning to make a whopping great total conversion named Dragonpunk. They want to make 12-player co-op and say they "are waiting on Firaxis to approve code" that would enable it. It sounds fairly simple but hey, I enjoyed playing Dawn of War 2 co-op with its similar unit-splitting way. Because of how the mod is built, missions with turn timers may be wonky - which is a fair chunk of XCOM 2. At the end of a mission, the secondary player will return to their own campaign with any XP and loot they earned. This first public release lets two players team up, with one player hosting and the other able to bring in characters from their own campaign. It's not a full co-op campaign, to be clear. The Tactical Co-op mod from Team Dragonpunk is now up on the Steam Workshop. You have someone to bounce ideas off, someone for moral support and encouragement, someone to plan and scheme with, and someone to blame when snakes are choking out your champ. Two seems a good number to start with, though. Two-player co-op has arrived in XCOM 2 with the first beta release of a mod which hopes to one day support twelve-player co-op.
