In a bid to intensify the battle against alien invaders, Hooded Horse and Goldhawk Interactive are rolling out the most significant update yet to their tactical strategy game, Xenonauts 2. The update promises to introduce fresh challenges and armaments to the ongoing war effort.
The extraterrestrial adversaries, growing increasingly impatient with the resilience of the Xenonauts, have escalated their tactics by deploying Cruiser-class UFOs. These imposing vessels, akin in size to the existing Abductor-class crafts, now boast crews armed with cutting-edge fusion weapons designed to decimate all opposition.
However, humanity need not face this onslaught alone. Reinforcements are on the way to confront these formidable new threats. Among the additions are Hover Tanks, which promise to bolster the Xenonauts’ combat capabilities. Additionally, upgraded dropships and interceptors are set to enhance humanity’s aerial and terrestrial defenses. Yet, amidst the excitement for these advancements, concerns linger about the potential for alien weapons to fall into enemy hands, leading to a perilous reversal of fortunes.
In addition to the introduction of new adversaries and weapons, the update brings a wealth of fresh battlegrounds. These new maps, primarily tailored for the early stages of the game and pivotal campaign battles against the enigmatic cleaners, aim to enrich the player experience by offering diverse and challenging environments to navigate.
Xenonauts 2, available for early access on PC via platforms such as Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store, offers players an immersive strategic experience. With a base price of $39.99 the game provides a compelling blend of tactical depth and gripping narrative. Moreover, to celebrate the release of the latest update, Xenonauts 2 is currently available at a discounted price, offering a 30% reduction until March 4.
As the battle against the alien menace rages on, Xenonauts 2 continues to evolve, offering players new challenges, weapons, and strategies to master. For those eager to join the fight, now is the perfect opportunity to enlist and defend humanity against the encroaching extraterrestrial threat by first checking out the complete change log for the new update.
