XCOM2: War of the Chosen was today announced at E3 2017.

Firaxis detailed the new expansion, which includes a new enemy called the Chosen. They’re bad-ass warriors who will trouble you throughout the game’s campaign.

Chosen characters grow and develop alongside your Commander, and will be a thorn in your side over multiple encounters.

The expansion will feature new resistance factions as well, including Templars, Skirmishers and more.

XCOM 2: War of the Chosen heads to Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4 on 29 August.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
