As your troops are strategically placed for the best attack you open fire and, thanks to the cover and surprise, this seems to be rather successful. This is a sabotage mission aiming to spoil Advent celebrations and demolish a new monument put in place by the earth's alien overlords.Īs the mission starts you direct your squad to keep cover and get into position to 'deliver a package' while the celebratory crowd has security forces distracted. In the video it is the 20th anniversary of the Alien's victory and forming of the Advent coalition (nothing to do with PC World). However in this episode, set 20 years after the original game, the earth is ruled by aliens with what is left of XCOM operating as a resistance movement. XCOM 2 remains a turn-based strategic combat title. The ten minute video starts with a commentary by producer Jake Solomon, who gives us the background to the game and the particular mission you see played out. Firaxis and 2K games have just uploaded the XCOM 2 gameplay demo that was shown off at E3 last week.
