Speaking of covert missions, this is a new feature for XCOM 2. Intel must be gathered in the form of covert missions to pinpoint where they are and hunt them down. Once they appear, you are given some information as to what region of the world they are in. Combine all of this with her ability to kidnap troops, and she is nasty. She also doesn’t trigger overwatch and can shoot back if you miss her. This will give you an idea of where she is so you can set up for her next run. The good news is when she attacks, she reveals herself, runs away and then cloaks. As she fights she will get up close and personal with her sword. The Assassin for example, can make herself invisible at will making her extremely difficult to fight. The commander can do things to slow them down, just make sure that attention is paid to all three Chosen or the commander will be lost to the resistance, permanently.Ĭhosen have specific traits and abilities. Much like the Avatar Project in the game, the Chosen have a timer. There are three different chosen, the Assassin, the Hunter and the Warlock, and all have unique abilities and all are very difficult to take down. Their mission is to recapture him, and if they succeed, whichever chosen captures the commander gets Earth when the aliens leave. Don’t fret, the Chosen introduce themselves early in the game so the campaign is different almost from the start.Īs the name would suggest, there is a new enemy in the game called the Chosen. War of the Chosen cannot be continued from a game that was started in the original XCOM 2 campaign. This means that when the game is launched, players can choose between the original game or the War of the Chosen version. War of the Chosen is an alternate XCOM 2 campaign.

Welcome back aboard the Avenger, Commander. Newcomers and veterans alike will find lots of new things to do in XCOM 2: War of the Chosen. 2K Games very recently dropped a massive DLC expansion for XCOM 2 which adds a ton of new features and missions to an already impressive game.
