2K Games and the strategy-game masters at Firaxis have announced a sequel to XCOM: Enemy Unknown, their 2012 reboot of the classic alien-invasion series. XCOM 2, which somehow made it this far in its lifespan without a subtitle, is bringing back all the turn-based alien battling, but this time around, you’ll be playing as an invading human force. The sequel takes place in a world where humanity surrendered to its alien invaders, who then spent the next 20 years gaining our trust and building a futuristic dystopia. What remains of the XCOM initiative, formerly a clandestine international defense force, is now fighting back against the alien overlords and their human allies as a resistance group with the goal of exposing the regime’s dirty deeds and dismantling it for good.
