New XCOM 2 Trailer Offers a Closer Look at Gameplay in the War of the Chosen Expansion

Firaxis is offering up a look at gameplay in the upcoming War of the Chosen expansion for XCOM 2.

XCOM 2 was one of the best strategy games of 2016, as evidenced by its runner-up finish in our 2016 Escapist Awards voting. If you’re a fan of the game, you’ve got a new expansion to look forward to next month. The expansion is titled War of the Chosen, and there’s a new trailer showing off the included gameplay.

The expansion is adding a number of new features, including the very powerful Chosen, enemy assassins that can kidnap your soldiers, friendly heroes with their own upgrade trees, and much more. You can find plenty more information on the expansion and everything it includes over on the official XCOM 2 blog.

XCOM 2: War of the Chosen is coming to PC, PS4, and Xbox One on August 29.
