We wanted to do something special for all the amazing fans who have supported the XCOM series so faithfully. The team and I looked back into the entire series, from the original game XCOM: UFO Defense to XCOM: Enemy Within to find inspiration to find new story and game modes.
The new game mode coming in the DLC is called Legacy Ops are stand alone missions that are going to bridge the gap between the XCOM and XCOM 2. The game modes included are mentioned below:
- Legacy Ops – Command a squad of soldiers through a series of linked consecutive tactical missions:
