A new XCOM game is under development and it will be released next week.
2K Games announced unexpectedly XCOM: Chimera Squad, Which is the follow-up product of XCOM 2, will be released on Steam on April 24 (Friday). Chimera Squad is a smaller indie game, which does not mean it is a complete sequel to XCOM 2.
This story takes place five years after the XCOM 2 incident, where you will lead a group of people, hybrids and aliens fighting those who do not want the alliance to succeed. Unlike the mainline XCOM game, your team members will not be generated procedurally.
Instead, you will select agents with your own personality, unique attack and combat roles from 11 pre-made agents. The game is small in scale and there is still room for strategic management outside of combat, but the mission is customized for quick action.
The new breakthrough mode is a supplement to the fast pace. In it, you will be able to assign team members to different entry points and set a perfect attack in the new combat phase. This series of turn-based systems has also undergone major changes in Chimera Squad. Firaxis calls it "staggered rounds," which allows the game to automatically create round sequences and queue different agents and enemies in order to take action.
Chimera Squad will be available on Steam at a discounted price of $ 10 / £ 8.5 until May 1, after which the price will rise to $ 20 / £ 17. All other XCOM games will also be released from the game's release date to May 7.
