XCOM 2 originally released in February 2016 for PC, and in September 2016 for consoles. Players take control of a squad of soldiers that must deploy into war zones to save the day. XCOM 2 is a turn-based tactical video game. The story continues after the Commander lost the initial campaign and now returns to save the day once more (at least to try to). It follows several years after the events of XCOM: Enemy Unknown and its expansion, Enemy Within.
