XCOM 2 - Trailer zur neuen Story-Kampagne, die es kurze Zeit sogar kostenlos gibt

Wer XCOM 2 und das große Addon War of the Chosen besitzt, bekommt vom Entwickler Firaxis ab dem 9. Oktober 2018 ein Geschenkt. Das Team wird eine Erweiterung namens Tactical Legacy Pack veröffentlichen, die eine vier Missionen langen Mini-Kampagne enthält. Die neue Story-Serie soll erzählen, was zwischen XCOM: Enemy Unknown und XCOM 2 passiert ist und wie sich der Widerstand geformt hat.

Die ersten acht Wochen nach dem 9.10. bis zum 3. Dezember wird der DLC kostenlos verfügbar sein, wenn man das Hauptspiel und das Chosen-Addon bestitzt. Danach wird es rund 8 Euro kosten.

Was das Tactical Legacy Pack für XCOM 2 abseits der Kampagne noch zu bieten hat, erklärt Jake Solomon, Creative Director der XCOM-Serie, in diesem Video und zeigt passenden Gameplay-Szenen. Zu den Neuerungen gehören neben zwei weiteren neuen Spielmodi auch Neuauflagen bekannter Maps, Rüstungen und Waffen aus XCOM: Enemy Unkown, sowie neue Soundtrackoptionen.
