While the game introduces plenty of brand new gameplay elements into the fold , veteran players will find many nods to the original series hidden within XCOM 2 .

Rather, it's also an intense strategy game in its own right. After all, players need to decide what their characters have to do in different situations.

And again, you can make it 100% procedural or you can change it. It’s completely up to the modder and up to us as developers, like all of our stuff is procedural, even the narrative stuff. I’m really happy with that system and, getting back to your question, it really lead us to that inspiration. At the end of the day that’s what we were focused on and the modding community is great on PC. I hope it gets more robust and flexible on consoles, but that’s where it was when we made that decision.<br>

Of course, the battle on the field is just one aspect of management that players will face.
