XCOM 2 is the sequel to XCOM: Enemy Unknown, the 2012 award-winning strategy game of the year.

Earth has changed. Twenty years have passed since world leaders offered an unconditional surrender to alien forces. XCOM, the planet’s last line of defense, was left decimated and scattered. Now, in XCOM 2, 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.

Only those who live at the edges of the world have a margin of freedom. Here, a force gathers once again to stand up for humanity. Always on the run, and facing impossible odds, the remnant XCOM forces must find a way to ignite a global resistance, and eliminate the alien threat once and for all.

XCOM ON THE RUN: Take command of the Avenger, an alien supply craft converted to XCOM’s mobile headquarters. New open-ended gameplay lets you decide where to guide your strike team, how to grow popular support, and when to combat enemy counter-operations.

RECRUIT RESISTANCE FIGHTERS: Five soldier classes, each with its own skill tree, let you create specific soldiers for your tactical plan.

TACTICAL GUERRILLA COMBAT: New gameplay systems offer more tactical flexibility in combat. Use concealment to ambush enemy patrols. Loot enemies for precious gear and artifacts. Rescue VIPs and save fallen comrades by carrying them to the extraction point.

A NEW BREED OF ENEMY: A diverse cast of enemies from powerful new alien species to the ADVENT, enforcers of the alien regime, offer a distinct tactical challenge.

RESEARCH, DEVELOP AND UPGRADE: Configure and build rooms on the Avenger to give XCOM new capabilities on the battlefield. Use your Scientists and Engineers to research, develop and upgrade weapons and armor to fit your preferred tactics.

EACH MISSION IS A UNIQUE CHALLENGE: Go on missions around the world, from wildlands to the heart of the alien-controlled megacities, to the depths of alien installations. There are virtually infinite combinations of maps, missions and goals.

CREATE CUSTOM MODS: Community-focused tools allow you to create your own campaign, tactical gameplay, aliens, classes, strategy game features, and share within the Steam Workshop.

XCOM 2 Soldier Class Descriptions:

XCOM 2 Psi Operative: Depending on who you ask, psionics could be the aliens greatest strength. Now our own operatives can tap into that same power.

XCOM 2 Ranger: The ranger serves as our primary reconnaissance unit. Capable of moving independently in concealment while engaging enemies at close range.

XCOM 2 Sharpshooter: Our sharpshooters engage enemy targets with pinpoint accuracy from extreme range. They are also trained in pistol marksmanship for the occasional close encounter.

XCOM 2 Specialist: Operating some of our most advanced equipment, specialists employ robotic drones called gremlins on the battlefield that can be outfitted for combat, or field medic duty.

XCOM 2 Grenadier: Serving as our demolitions experts, the grenadiers provide heavy ordnance delivery whenever and wherever we need it.

Please thumb this up.

The response to this has been overwhelming. The video has been up for 8 hours and I have received over 600 text based submissions. I will be prioritizing the ones with interesting backstories and effort that was put in.

Those who are able to send a .bin file from their character pool, will take priority. So please send me that if you're planning on buying XCOM 2.

I will work through the text based one as I go along, but your chances are much higher if you send me the .bin

I've been watching for a very long time and you're one of my favorite people on YouTube. I cannot wait for even the tiniest chance that I might be apart of one of Christophers videos.

[elmukelmu]

Lots of hype for the series, the XCOM 1 runs have been so popular, I imagine this to blow the bloody doors of anything you've done before.
Can't wait! :3

[dkashchiev]

Stoked man! Thank you for the opportunity to join what will be an amazing campaign :)

[ButteryButters]

That last line nearly made me wake up the neighbors xD Definitely watching your series over Lionheart and Surreal just for that, though I'll probably still watch them all.

[ConceptThe]

Oh, you are letting us do it through the game's character pool, that's awesome. I'll wait until the game unlocks tonight and send it.

[Jau_Videos]

Sent in my character's application - can't wait to see if she makes the cut. Godspeed, commander.

[BotanicalCreature]

Hello, Commander Odd! Been watching your videos for a while and I also really enjoy those little mission recaps people write in your comments section. I have been wanting to write some for a while now but it would feel kinda wrong to use other people's characters so I'm gonna send you a soldier template, here's to hoping he makes the cut!

[funkophone]

My computer has all the processing power of a blender with no motor. I reckon the next best thing'll be watching this series. looking forward to it!

[Nykau]

Perfect timing!! Once I made my soldier friday morning, I'll send it! looking forward this adventure commander Odd!
