2K and Firaxis Games have today announced that the XCOM 2 Digital Deluxe Edition is now available for pre-purchase (AUD $110) Get around it!
Launching globally on February 5, 2016 for PC (and coming to Mac and Linux via Feral Interactive) the XCOM 2 Digital Deluxe Edition includes the game itself (obviously) the XCOM 2 Reinforcement Pack and the digital soundtrack.
XCOM 2 takes place 20 years into the future, where humanity has surrendered to the alien threat and XCOM is largely forgotten, forcing them to reclaim Earth and free mankind from the aliens’ rule.
The Reinforcement Pack can be purchased separately for $29.95 and bundles three downloadable add-on packs. Each add-on pack will offer a unique twist to the core game experience by adding new missions, aliens, weapons, more extreme soldier customization and other items.
The Reinforcement Pack includes the following:
- Anarchy’s Children: featuring rebellion-themed content with more dramatic soldier customization (releasing Spring 2016)
- Alien Hunters: introducing new gameplay surrounding XCOM as an elite alien hunting unit tracking down “Ruler” aliens, along with a new mission, soldier customization options and more powerful weapons and armor (releasing Summer 2016)
- Shen’s Last Gift: offering a brand new soldier class with unique upgradeable weapons, armor and customization features, as well as an additional narrative-driven mission and map (releasing Summer 2016)
Players who pre-order or pre-purchase XCOM 2 or the XCOM 2 Digital Deluxe Edition will also receive the Resistance Warrior Pack, offering additional soldier customization options such as bonus outfits, headgear, and custom facial war paint. The Resistance Warrior Pack also includes a “Survivor of the Old War,” a new XCOM recruit who will appear in the Avenger’s barracks.
