\"XCOM:<\/a><\/p>\n

Actually, XCOM: Enemy Within<\/a>, Firaxis’ expansion pack to XCOM: Enemy Unknown, was already available since last Tuesday in the United States, but now it was officially released globally.<\/p>\n

The expansion’s list of features<\/a> include new maps, a new Mech trooper soldier class, new weapons (chiefly for the new soldier class but also new equipment), new enemies (the new Sectoid variant called the Mechtoid and the stealth-based unit called the Seeker), genetic improvements (which enhance several areas of the body), new second wave options, a new anti-XCOM human faction called the Exalt and an XCOM base invasion mission.<\/p>\n

For more details check out our interview<\/a> with Ananda Gupta, the lead designer of XCOM: Enemy Within.<\/p>\n

So, are you ready to get back to command of Earth’s best known Extraterrestrial Combat Unit (aka X-COM)\u00a0against\u00a0the (not so anymore) unknown alien invasion? I surely know I am. It may take us a while but you’ll have your thorough review of this expansion pack. If you can’t wait for it, the game is now available on GamersGate<\/a> and Steam<\/a> for $29.99\/\u20ac29.99\/\u00a319.99. But if you can wait, you’ll have our opinion and, who knows, a sale may be running by then :)<\/p>\n
