The Strategy Classic XCOM 2 Arrives On The Switch Next Month

The XCOM 2 Collection launches on the Nintendo Switch on May 29th! Firaxis Games and Virtuos have endeavored to bring the masterful turn-based tactics game to the handheld console.

Earth was lost in the first encounter with the aliens of XCOM: Enemy Unknown, so now it’s up to resistance fighters to take back the world for humanity.

The collection will include the base game, four DLC packs—Resistance Warrior Pack, Anarchy’s Children, Alien Hunters, Shen’s Last Gift—and the War of the Chosen expansion. That’s a lot of turn-based tactics time.

Here’s what to expect from the expansion and DLC packs:

XCOM 2: War of the Chosen

  • A whole slew of new content, including new Hero classes, enemies, missions, environments, and more choices for deeper strategy

Resistance Warrior Pack

  • Bonus outfits and other cosmetics to fully customize your squad of resistance fighters

Anarchy’s Children

  • 100 exotic cosmetic options for the entire arsenal of armors available in the game

Alien Hunters

  • More weapons, armor, and enemies, along with additional cosmetic upgrades to soldiers and the Avenger; also, a mission in which Central Officer Bradford leads a squad—with an old friend

Shen’s Last Gift

  • A new soldier class that brings unique combat abilities, mechanics, and customization options, all during a mission with Chief Engineer Lily Shen

It’s the ultimate XCOM 2 experience, and you can carry it with you on the Nintendo Switch.

I’m ready for the release date. Who’s with me?
