2K announces an
XCOM 2 Digital Deluxe Edition, a bundle of the
upcoming strategy sequel, three DLC packs, and a copy of the game's soundtrack.
They are already accepting pre-purchases, which will set you back $74.99 USD,
and the release is planned for February 5, 2016. Here's an outline of the plan,
which also includes a separate bundle of the DLC:
2K and Firaxis Games
today announced that the XCOM® 2 Digital Deluxe Edition is now available for
pre-purchase for $74.99. Launching globally on February 5, 2016 for Windows PC
and coming to Mac and Linux via Feral Interactive, the XCOM 2 Digital Deluxe
Edition includes the sequel to the Game of the Year* award-winning strategy
title XCOM: Enemy Unknown, the XCOM 2 Reinforcement Pack** and the digital
soundtrack. XCOM 2 takes place 20 years into the future, where humanity has
surrendered to the alien threat and XCOM is largely forgotten, forcing them to
reclaim Earth and free mankind from the aliens’ rule.
The Reinforcement Pack** can be purchased separately for $19.99 and bundles
three downloadable add-on packs. Each add-on pack will offer a unique twist to
the core game experience by adding new missions, aliens, weapons, more extreme
soldier customizations and other items.
The Reinforcement Pack** includes the following:
- Anarchy’s Children: featuring
rebellion-themed content with more dramatic soldier customizations
(releasing spring 2016);
- Alien Hunters: introducing new
gameplay surrounding XCOM as an elite alien hunting unit tracking down
“Ruler” aliens, along with a new mission, soldier customization options and
more powerful weapons and armor (releasing summer 2016);
- Shen’s Last Gift: offering a brand
new soldier class with unique upgradeable weapons, armor and customization
features, as well as an additional narrative-driven mission and map
(releasing summer 2016).
Players who pre-order or pre-purchase XCOM 2 or the XCOM
2 Digital Deluxe Edition will also receive the Resistance Warrior
Pack, offering additional soldier customization options such as bonus
outfits, headgear, and custom facial war paint. The Resistance Warrior
Pack also includes a “Survivor of the Old War,” a new XCOM recruit who
will appear in the Avenger’s barracks.
