Features

I've outlined some main features that is included in the game so we can keep track on what's missing

Via IGN's article:

• Five new soldier classes
• New enemies: Evolved Sectoids, snake-lady Vipers (ed: probably Snakeman), and Advent soldiers
• Stealth-infused tactics, including using cover for concealment and looting fallen enemies and allies
• A mobile base: a flying aircraft carrier called the Avenger
• Procedurally generated maps
• Mod support, including official mod tools and Steam Workshop integration
• One-on-one multiplayer

We won't know until the game releases exactly what happens but based on what the dev team have said it will act in a similar manner to base defense missions in previous games. LCrowter (talk) 11:11, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Release date

Today's announcement ([1] and [2]) shows that XCom 2 has been delayed until February, 2016. I updated the references I could find in the article to reflect this, though only used the twitter link as the source, as the xcom.com link is behind an age-verification check. --Yamla (talk) 16:13, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Potential UK ban - Glorification of Terrorism

Someone mentioned to me that the game might be banned in the UK as it violates the 2006 Terrorism Act which prevents any positive portrayals of anything that could be perceived as terrorism. Does anyone know more on this? are there sources? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.192.103.31 (talk) 20:49, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

See Terrorism Act 2006. Very, very clearly not. I think this person who mentioned it to you was simply trolling you, or woefully ill-informed. --Yamla (talk) 21:06, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Updated screenshot

The current screenshot is from a pre-release build and was uploaded in June. I don't suppose we could replace it with an up-to-date screenshot? — Strongjam (talk) 17:55, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

@Strongjam: Feel free to update the screenshot. I uploaded this one when the game was announced. (There is no other options) AdrianGamer (talk) 11:08, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, I was hoping another editor who had the game could upload an up-to-date one. I'm going to wait for a Steam sale... — Strongjam (talk) 21:42, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Gameplay description?

The gameplay section is basically a feature list. It would be very beneficial to the article's value if some descriptions of how the game is played (e.g., how does the turn-based mechanism work). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.253.107.5 (talk) 03:01, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Feel free to update it. The gameplay part was written pretty long ago and no one had updated it yet. AdrianGamer (talk) 10:30, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
