There are three Chosen-and I wished there had been more-with each of them somewhat based on the classes of your XCOM soldiers: They’re powerful, with tons of useful psychic abilities, they can summon units into the battlefield, they each have one skill that dazes enemy units-your units, if that is unclear-and they have a set of strengths and weaknesses that are completely random but add lots of lore flavour and challenge to their encounters. They’re humanoid in appearance but clearly there’s been some alien meddling in their genome.
The Chosen are exactly that, the favoured agents of the Elders, the Alien leadership.
Now, this isn’t a review of XCOM 2: War of the Chosen, but it would be remiss of me if I didn’t touch on the stars of the show, The Chosen. New factions with amazing heroes and dynamics, new researches, enemies, missions, more emphasis on encounters rather than time-based missions-though those are still in there-and so many chances of being a complete badass-if like me, you’re very well into save scumming! But XCOM 2: War of the Chosen has so much content in it and the concept of the chosen was so interesting that I couldn’t resist coming back for more. It’s not very common for me to return to a game for an expansion, especially not when the expansion releases so long after the main game. Now Firaxis and 2K have released an expansion that’s making me love the game even more. I played it on release and gave it one hell of a score.

Find and raid the Chosen’s strongholds to defeat the enemy for good.Ī deadly new alien known as the Spectre, capable of creating dark copies of XCOM soldiers, has snuck onto the battlefield. The Chosen can also invade the strategy layer and ravage XCOM’s global operations. The Chosen are on the hunt for the Commander and will kidnap, interrogate, and kill XCOM’s soldiers to complete their objective. The Chosen are the most cunning enemies XCOM has ever faced, each with unique strengths and weaknesses that will be introduced with each new campaign. These factions provide powerful hero class soldiers to aid in missions and new opportunities for the strategy layer.
Three additional factions have emerged to strengthen Earth's resistance – the Reapers, Skirmishers and Templars – each with its own unique abilities and contrasting philosophies.
