Summary

XCOM 2: War of the Chosen introduces a wealth of new content as the battle against Advent intensifies, with new resistance groups rising to confront the alien menace on Earth. In reaction, a formidable new foe, the "Chosen," appears, determined to reclaim the Commander. The expansion features new Hero classes to combat the "Chosen," along with fresh enemies, missions, environments, and enhanced strategic gameplay depth.

Storyline

The player once more takes on the role of the Commander, who had recently been kept in alien stasis to utilize their tactical mind through a brain implant. After being freed by Central Officer Bradford, XCOM stages an assault on an alien convoy and seizes an elerium core, which powers the Avenger—an alien supply ship repurposed as XCOM's mobile headquarters. Aboard the Avenger, the Commander is aided by Dr. Richard Tygan, a defected ADVENT scientist who replaces the absent Dr. Vahlen, and Chief Engineer Lily Shen, daughter and successor to the late Dr. Raymond Shen, a figure the Commander knew from the previous game. This time, a new group of alien adversaries emerges: the Chosen, three elite warriors sent by the Elders to destroy XCOM and reclaim the Commander. They include the Assassin, who employs stealth and can abduct the player's troops directly on the battlefield, the Hunter, a hybrid of alien and human that wields long-range rifles, and the Warlock, who harnesses psychic abilities and can summon extra enemies during combat.
