They’ll be available when the game hits
Folks who wanted an even more challenging experience inXCOM: Enemy UnknownandEnemy Withingot exactly that in the acclaimed mod,Long War. Nick recentlywarmed our heartswith news that the mod’s creators had formed their own studio and begun work on an original strategy game calledTerra Invicta, but that’s not all. The team is partnering with Firaxis to “develop several mods that are planned to be released whenXCOM 2launches on July 19, 2025.”
So cool! I love the idea of community creators and game developers collaborating, generally speaking, but in this specific case, knowing how great Long War was, dang this is exciting. Thankfully, we won’t have to wait until the game releases to find out more.
Long War Studios design lead John Lumpkin is going to be on the Firaxis Megapanel at PAX South to chat about “mod content as well asXCOM 2‘s modding tools.” The panel will be streamed onTwitchat 10:30am Pacific on Saturday, January 30. I’ll sacrifice my beauty sleep. Maybe.
