Alien Hunters Are Coming in the Next XCOM 2 DLC
2K and Firaxis Games today announced that the second DLC pack for XCOM 2, Alien Hunters, will be available worldwide on May 12th.
Alien Hunters adds exciting new gameplay content to your campaign, featuring a narrative-driven mission, new weapon and armor types, a new updated Armory in the Avenger, plus three new “Ruler” aliens to combat.
Alien Hunters will be available for $9.99 or as part of the Reinforcement Pack.
The Ruler enemy type adds an unpredictable twist to missions across the game. Read on below:
These new Rulers, including the Viper King, are quite formidable, Commander. They will show up at random in your campaign, once you’ve completed the new narrative mission, and each will have their own unique behavior and tactics, so don’t expect them to act like their subordinates. If you can’t take out a ruler quick enough, the alien will escape to fight another day. We believe these rulers are incredibly intelligent and are pursuing your soldiers across the globe.
“Alien Hunters” requires players to own XCOM 2 and launches on May 12.
Not too long ago we reviewed XCOM 2 and said this:
The number of mission types along with the randomly generated tile sets and varying enemies will keep XCOM 2 feeling fresh even through your 4th or 5th playthrough. With mod support and multiplayer in tow, the replayability just keeps on giving. Everything is bigger and better, XCOM 2 exceeds expectations and spawns new hope in future sequels. Future 2016 games have been served notice, XCOM 2 is an early contender for game of the year.
