XCOM Goes to Hong Kong in New DLC

XCOM: Enemy Unknown‘s Slingshot DLC takes you on a new set of Council missions.

If you fancy a bit of Hong Kong action mixed in with your alien invasion, the new Slingshot DLC pack for XCOM: Enemy Unknown will delight you. These linked Council missions allies your forces with a Triad operative, in a race to stop the Sectoids from doing whatever it is they’re up to in that massive flying thing they’ve got circling above China.

Slingshot features three new maps tied to the Council missions, as well as your mysterious Triad contact with his “unique story and voice,” according to the 2K release. Plus you get hats! Who doesn’t like hats?

XCOM: Enemy Unknown, for those who somehow missed its release earlier this year, is a turn-based strategy game in which you – as the Commander – try not to get your troopers blown away by Thin Men or beaten to death by Berserkers, as you battle it out with alien invaders in a last-ditch attempt to save the planet. This latest DLC will set you back $6.99 (PS3, PC), or 560 Microsoft points.
