ABOUT XCOM 2: WAR OF THE CHOSEN
The fight against ADVENT continues when additional resistance factions form in order to eliminate the alien threat on Earth. In response, a new enemy, known as the “Chosen,” emerges with one goal: recapture the Commander. This expansion to the 2016 award-winning strategy game of the year includes new Hero classes to counter the “Chosen”, new enemies, missions, environments and increased depth in strategic gameplay. Requires XCOM 2 to play.
ABOUT XCOM 2
XCOM 2 is the sequel to the award-winning strategy game, XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Twenty years have passed since humanity lost the war against the alien invaders and a new world order now exists on Earth. After years of lurking in the shadows, XCOM forces must rise and eliminate the alien occupation. Join the resistance. Available now on PC, Mac, Linux, PS4 and Xbox One.

Which of these three new enemies are you most excited to face on the battlefield?
i'm the first like this comment. Oh yeah!
All of them. Please hug whoever brought back the mind meld. Now I can have everyone miss the priest while a muton kills another ranger
XCOM isn't obvious ? Specter of course !
Those Spectres are going to be a pain to deal with...and if a Chosen is around, it will get worse :P
What about Alien Rulers and Chosen. Priest can connect with them too?
You say three new enemies,I hear three new autopsies.
Selig5 Plus the autopsies of each Chosen, anyone?
selig5 Oh yeah well thanks for making me look forward to having to face these enemies just a little bit more
Selig5 I was just thinking "what sort of tech we can get from these 3?"
plus autopsies of Lost, maybe of each type.
And their weapons and armor that drop as a bonus...
That priest helmet tho.
Pimpin pope.
Rob Majito aliens invaded the vatican saw the pope amd went "we want dat shit"
BattlePope
Hug that shit! Toucan Safari!
So basically Fireman, Ayy 2.0 and Dark Pepsiman
you could say the spectre is, refreshing.
Seems a bit flat to me.
I hope we can get a Specter Helmet
if you buy a strategy game for console, you are already doing something wrong. Even more when modding for that game is supported by the devs
I bought it for consoles mainly because I lack a good enough computer to play the game normally. :(
@@lorenzosp8566 I finally got a computer that could run Xcom 2 on, got plenty of mods, and I STILL haven't gotten a specter helmet mod yet.
@@Haos51 my machine just shutsdown when I try and acces the final misssion. Does this also happen to you?
@@lorenzosp8566 I got it on console because I had ps plus
Can't wait to pop more ADVENT heads like watermelons! New foes means new silhouettes for XCOM to use as target practice!
*Turns difficulty down*
The Specter will pretty soon learn the words:
Blade Storm
Assuming the bladestorm doesn't hit the blast mist form, because if not then that means that not even Rangers are safe.
But they do have to rematerialize to do anything.
they could be bladestormed on approach, then materialise
OH NO, a specter copy with reaper, enough said.
Bladestorm counts as a reaction shot, so they likely wouldn't hit the Specter on approach unless the Specter already used up its Lightning Reflexes on another overwatch en route. And since Bladestorm only works once per enemy per turn, it doesn't really defend the Ranger or Templar against the Specter.
I see that the devs have bene picking up some of the ideas modmakers have been putting forth.
Really looking forward to the Priest and the Purifier - though now I wonder if we'll get flamethrowers too!
We already have the flamethrower though. I think it's the weakest Heavy weapon, but still
@@lorenzosp8566 same, I think the shredder gun is the best
I remember the first time I used the shredder gun, my grenadier encountered a pod and I was like "well I have a experimental shredder gun so let's see how you guys fair" They all died, even the mec
I can't wait to mind control a specter
Yep, Psi Op still better than templar.
Target seems to not be fully organic, so Mind control may not even be posible
you can still MC a Codex, and they're not fully organic. has to be completely robotic to not get MCed.
pendraco2000 then we hack it
pretty much. if it's biological, it can be MCed. if it's fully robotic, it can be hacked.
Great, now i want flame thrower solders on my team. . . the Specter looks nice too, and i wonder if those Advent Priest are the guys who run the Advent church's we see in the main game
Spectre = Pepsiman''s edgier brother
Solders, new primary target: Spectre troopers
Focus all fire until target is neutralised
All other Advent are considered secondary
1:38 "Commander, I have a Dr. Vahlen on Line 1..."
Possible the coolest looking enemy is the Spectre. The armor, the color scheme, and the abilities look great. Priest literally looks like a priest. We all already know about the other guy. I bet cha the next inside look video is the new game modes.
I am so pumped for this, don't forget to make soldier customization better aswell!
Specter visibly shook me.
Knocks your soldier unconscious?!
Shieeeeeet
Is it possible to get a date that we can preload the expansion or even an eta? My potato internet would take hours if i could only download on launch day
James Anderton and then the steam servers...
Just pretend the expansion is being released August 30th.
Don't melee the purifiers... well I'm sure I'll fuck that up at some point xD
The Specter is NANOMACHINES!!!
Nanomachines son!
That spectre looks like he's going to make me pull my hair out.
So even Bradford knows that the Spectre, while in cloud form, cannot be hit. Wanna bet our troops will still waste Overwatch shots on them every and each time?
The official page on the new enemies states that only the first overwatch shot is a guaranteed miss.
Page I'm referencing: xcom.com/news/entries/xcom-2-war-of-the-chosen-s-new-enemies-the-purifier-priest-and-the-spectre
Hyped!!!!!!
So we'll definitely have to learn how that Specter AI works lol.
the sectoid from the first war can do a mind merge too... i don't think its a "new trick"
This trailer acknowledges the fact that the mind merge ability is an old trick when Bradford states that it hasn't been seen since the original invasion.
If 3 superpowered boss fights and a complete rework of the avenger wasent enough then they will add multiple new enemies
Wasn't the Advent Priest originally a mod?
Am so excited!
It's nice in all these videos everyone is wishing the commander good luck, including the aliens. Hopefully once they are thoroughly defeated, XCOM and the aliens can all slap hands and tell each other good game as well! Or good war... or something.
MaskedImposter That last bit is reserved for multiplayer.
Mind merge hmm i wonder if it's the same one or has it been changed i mean increasing crit chance in legend is deadly but i don't think it's that deadly I'm nearly hoping it's buffed or chanced
Specter remind me the Ultra-T from Ben 10
So wait, is there a possibility of the purifier of exploding, or is it a guaranteed explosion? And can the... reaper (I think) also attempt to detonate the purifiers?
Michael Merrick I think they mentioned in a stream that it's a chance, as for the reapers I don't know but if they could detonate enemy grenades then maybe...?
It's a chance to explode, since we've seen previews of Purifier kills that don't explode on deaths. Of course, this being XCOM it's better to treat Purifiers as if they'll always explode.
So we're getting Zombies AND snot-green Terminators in this expansion?!??!?!?!
New multiplayer pawns to use i hope...With update.
If the spectre can be mindcontrolled and can use their copy ability at that time too then they are probably the best Dominate target for the final mission now, why settle for one extra unit when you can have one that makes even more for you and can make itself impossible to hit
Specter first? Are you crazy? Purifiers explode..... EXPLODE thats a nice good BOOM BOOM hit that bugger and he can hurt the Specter xD
Gentleman .Zac and spawn more lost to deal with
K -OZ Central says that "ADVENT mainly deploys these troops into abandoned cities to destroy any trace of the Lost." so possibly there is a small chance there are deployed on other missions like retaliations or they are like the chryssalid or faceless that has a dark event that makes it so that way you encounter them on normal missions.
Sargrules That makes a lot of sense. And if that's the case I wonder if the explosion from the purifier could also destroy the specters cover. Or would it be like a base grenade and mostly destroy half cover.
K -OZ maybe the only time we see all the new units together is in the last scene which looks like an alien base
possibly one of the Chosen hideouts idk.
Sargrules I was just on the website the purifier is sent on retaliation missions too. So we'll see them together pretty often I'd Imagine. And as a bonus killing the shadow soldier made by a spectre kills the original soldier.
some new heads for my wall
Looks like the specter just won The Who to kill first in a pod award.
Too bad he wont make it to the reward ceremony
Coming in before Shieldbearer, Codex and every melee unit ever? (Berserker, Chryssalid, Elite Lancers, Faceless, Sectoid controlling a Psi Zombie, I guess). We seem to have different priorities.
>open a pod
>Stun Lancer
>Viper
>Codex
>Specter
*[god has left]*
In between these three, I'll gladly shoot the spectre first. But if the Priest also eventually gain psi abilities like Domination, Void Rift or even Null Lance...
+Pinewoodpine The Priest seems more focused on support and debuff rather than direct damage. Info from the official site states that it has Mind Control and Stasis among its abilities, and it has Sustain if it gets fatally wounded.
"Impossible to hit" - Joke's on you, my soldiers always miss
You must hire stormtroopers
When my soldiers miss they somehow magically still hurt the enemy with minor wounds…. Weird…
Totally not a weapon attachment…
I got lucky, my sharpshooter once hit a 26%
It's a sad day when we have to team up with the reapers to fight the specters
As long as they don't start preaching about perfection...
As long as the priest doesn't shout "I am assuming direct control!"
Rain Hunter This my favorite comment on the video.
IchiroFuma -video +citadel
Npthxbai
They are the Harbinger of your ascension!
The Spectre looks like he's fun at parties. Can you say "Squad wipe"?
The auto miss can be scary though, that for sure - if they can spam it, i'm out. But seem like reaction shot against them will always miss.
It's lightning reflexes, like the ability. It only blocks one shot and the rest penetrate him like that one shrek is love video. Or so they say... Maybe they have a new version of lightning reflexes just for him?
If Bluescreen rounds work effectively on Spectre as they do to Codex, I think they probably won't cause too much problems for us to handle. But the idea that a couple of Spectres jumped in a battle while engaging Ruler is pretty scary af imo.
Or can you say, "Tron wanna be"?
Nanomachines, son!
The Spectre looks badass I want his armor.
if you'd ask me... the spectre look more like a cluster of nanomachines taking a humanoid form for some reason
Dragon Core Nanomachines, son.
They made it out of ancient XBox Technology.

Bradford, I don't understand how you can sound so confident when our troops miss 80% percent shots
Blactrick
Because the Commander has the ability to go back in time and beat the Aliens by Savescuming their asses into oblivion
What are all the Alien Powers compared to that?
Valar_morghulis 13 headcanon confirmed. The Commander is the kid from Undertale
+Blacktrick Because your troops have also shown the ability to hit 55% - 75% shots as well?
Blactrick You think that's bad? I've had a Ranger miss a 99% Double Tap.
+StrikeNoir105E
On a VERY good day, when only a few feet away from the enemy...who in turn seem capable of getting 30% shots from over a mile.
The specter doesn't need that ability, our troops wouldn't hit it anyway
New bosses, more soldiers, new missions, and now new trophies that look hecking amazing? It's like Christmas in August!Can't wait for the priest to mind merge with an alien ruler lel
Zerg King except the expansion costs 40$
with all the content given its like buying the whole new game, which it kinda does
Zerg King I hear one-shot baby !
actually, that could work, but maybe not.
Yes I think so. But no. Or maybe....
“'Ah', *yes', 'Spectres'. The unhittable race of swarm-like beings allegedly able to clone your soldiers. We have dismissed that claim.”
Where is my promised use of Tobacco.
Joke comment but it's under props.
There's a cigar and a cigarette. The cigarette just looks weird for some reason.
ADVENT Purifiers are happy to oblige in the lighting of various forms of Tobacco.
Any third degree burns sustained you,ll have to take up with your local Gene Therapist.
Jarosz666 Ikr?
Oh great so not only can we not use explosives in Lost city out of fear we will attract The Lost now we have to be careful when shooting those flaming bastards. The Priest doesnt seem that dangerous if he is mainly a support unit you can just snipe him but if it starts acting like more powerful Sectoid then we are in trouble. The Spectre ...just looking at that thing fills me up with anger and frustration...
The Priest also has several other abilities not mentioned in this video. He can use Mind Control, Stasis, some kind of shield ability, and Sustain.
I mean, you can just bomb them and let they clean up the horde while you shoot their moving bomb to attract a second horde on top of their own forces soooo... its gonna be fun
Look at the bright side: they haven't added an ADVENT flashbanger into the game
ADVENT Engineers. Enough said.
The13Inquisitor that's only in long war not the base game
Plenty of advent have access to the disorientate de-buff which is the same thing.
Sssh! You're giving them ideas!
Well, one of the chosen turned out to be tossing flashbangs left and right.)
That thumbnail makes it look like the Priest is taking a group selfie.
introducing:
"the f*ck-up-o-erino-pod-that-will-always-spawn-with-a-ruler"
good luck commander..
Rulers don't Spawn randomly anymore with the DLc they are put in there own missions
Well, they don't start off spawning randomly anyways. They only start doing so once you invade their strongholds in WotC and survive.
plus Rulers tend to show up really only with members of their own species. Archon King with Archons (and Variants from mods), Berserker Queen with Mutons (and variants), and so on. therefore you wouldn't really get any of these three showing up in the same pod as a ruler, cept maybe a single one as a follower, and that's rare. course, nothing is stopping the ruler's pod from showing up when you're engaging these guys already, though.
Do the priests try to touch you
ayy
Look like the Chyssalid just have a new rival for the "I wish you are dead on first sight" award.
The Spectre kinda reminds me of the guards in Tron Legacy. Awesome!
Stop making this game so awesome. I have a personal life damn you!!!
Alright guys, bring your frost bombs, bring something loud and annoying, and bring your ghost hunting pack.
Spectre: "Join us, Mr. Anderson"
can u add an Advent SNIPER also? It will add so much to the game mechanic and flow
James Chau snipers are like guaranteed to hit, tho... terribly skewed odds there
there's plenty of ADVENT sniper mods, and the Naja from the alien pack.
The hunter looks scary enough as it is and he's not that much different from a high level xcom sniper.
Gimme that Purifier MAIN flamethrower!! Without the explody backpack please :D
Oh, flamethrower, time to bake cakes. The priest and the Specter sure are interesting.
To the animator at firaxis who made the priest’s animation at 0:38 I just want you to know I do that motion on a weekly basis because I love it so much
Who thinks that Firaxis should take a more horror-ish step in their next X-COM game? Not necessarily in X-COM 3 because of the path that took X-COM 2, It would not make much sense, But a knock-off? Kinda like dead space but... X-Dead space-com lol, Like my comment if you agree
Dima .G. Considering the Elders' talk of a greater threat, and whatever that was coming from the wreck of their undersea base, we might get a cosmic horror turn.
Using melee attacks is not advised. Well, no kidding, it's not like swords are the least useful option or that Rangers got the nerf bat swung at their crit rates.
But you go one stating the obvious.
It seems we may have to adjust our combat strategies. These bastards look tough as hell, but there is nothing the Commander can't kill. Good luck out there soldiers.
Central out.
Hmm. I'm pretty sure the purifier will be just as useless as the xcom unit that I equipped with a flamethrower because I thought it would be cool
0:34-0:36, Bradford always didn't want you to use close range anyway, he would just voice "CLOSE RANGE!?" right into the comms.
only three enemy and its humanoid? I kinda miss sectoid mech from enemy within.
why you put argentina as new chile xcom? why?
Because fuck geography.
And borders.
Stalker of the Week it's easy for you to say if you are from the states
Juan Pablo Comeglio I'm from argentina, i was being ironic
Stalker of the Week hubieras empezado por ahi chabon,yo tambien!:D.Es que los yanquis no saben geografia y saber de otros paises por eso pense
yeah but mexico and the east and west parts of united states are fine except they have some canadian territory.At least give some explaination about it or put Chile on it
0:38 "Hello sir, would you like to take a moment of your time to talk about our great overlords, the Elders?" Nope, but I would like to take that fancy helmet of yours...
Considering the Priest probably still has the mind control ability...
Wololo!
I HATE THE SPECTRE! Thank you Feraxis 👍🏽
"Spectres turn into a cloud, making them hard to hit"
GEE!!! its bad enough we miss alot inspite of having upgrade of 97% of hitting upgrade.
If only my squad of mutants and cyborgs from xcom 1 could be here i would make small wood out of advent
cryinghellwolf technically they never existed
I always nickname my best ranger "Papa". Why? So when new threats appear I can yell: "COME TO PAPA!"
I'm excited but wish the game was better optimized. it's just so laggy and choppy that it just burns me out. 😓😭
Talon Bush it's your computer not the game
Awsome ^_^ hope they add more old abilities and possibly old units like the lovely "death disc", the floaters, or even the outsiders (love to see a newer model for them). It's always intiresting to see games develope new ideas, but bringing back the old has its own satisfaction. Just words from a dedicated Mech Soldier who was replaced by AI Machines.
Old doesn't always mean old news.
Keep it up XCOM.
(This Messege is provided by a War Of The Fallen Pre-Buyer) Looking foward to the new gameplay.
Holy hell that specter is going to be such a pain in the ass
I already see myself raging
Otherwise I like how the devs are making more... Versatile enemies?
Basically what in trying to say you have more options to do stuff when playing as them which is dope
Speaking of which can we control the chosen?
I am sure i am gonna once more have to deal with squads facing significant emotional distress due to purifier attacks.
Oh god oh god we are on fire !!
gonna nick name the survivor matchstick.
look at all those shots landing accurately, what sorcery do those units possess to be so accurate ?
so i take it the purifier is popular in barbecues?
- You say Spectre, i say MISSED!
Every encounter from now until you lose the game
Looking forward to the new enemy types.
Looks like Tron just hit the top of our hit lists. Good Luck Trons Fans.
Those Priests won't live 30 seconds when I'm on the field.
I already faced off against 100+ different enemies from mods, bring on all the new enemies! Would be cool though to add in totally new scary as hell aliens like the Chryssalids
The advent soldier in the thumbnail looks like the one punch man meme
The Spectre... And I thought Lancer was a b*tch...
The Specter seems op with the Knocked Unconscious bit
NOTIFICATION SQUAD READY TO DEPLOY!
Where can i found priest helm customize (mod)
You know the purifier might actually be terrifying if 1. He actually hit his target with his flamer, seriously I've never had a soldier wounded becuase of it! And 2. The Templars (as far as I'm aware) have guaranteed fortress as one of their abilities making them the perfect counter to purifiers
oh please tell us, we can get this awesome flamethrower !
Is that someone's face flying away!? 1:43
How to piss off noobs!
It would be cool if you could get a skirmisher to level up in a class of the Advent like the shield bearers and get their skills or maybe the priest or purifiers idk if you can have more than one of each unit but still it's just an idea
1:42 HEY BRADFORD YOUS STOLE THE OTHER GUYS LINE
Is anyone getting agent Smith vibes out of the spectres
Thanks for russian subtitles !
Only complaint i have here is that the enemies are all just more Dudes In Armor. was hoping to see more interesting designs after base xcom 2 just being 80% bland advent dudes
I don't like the Priest. Looks too plain.
Look at their officers with their capes and fancy helmets, imagine what a fanatical zealot should look like in comparison.
They got the silly helmet; but the rest of the armor should be far more ornate or over-the-top. I want something that makes me think of 40K high priests charging into battle; screaming reverence to their god at the top of their lungs.
I actually was just thinking about how I was glad 2 of the new enemies are Advent troopers. I like the variety in troopers that exist, and if you have too many wacky aliens it gets a little silly.
