Two full pages not about XCOM 2. Enough already.
We are happy to announce Long War Studios, the developers behind the Long War total-conversion mod for XCOM: Enemy Unknown and XCOM: Enemy Within, has partnered with Firaxis Games and 2K for XCOM 2.
The Long War Studios team, which is comprised of John Lumpkin, Rachel “Amineri” Norman and James “JCLewis” Karlson, is currently hard at work on multiple mods for XCOM 2. These mods are currently slated to be available at launch on February 5, 2016. We’ll have more information about the content of these mods soon.
You know what makes TFTD harder? The lovecraftian horror theme
Walking into a barn blasting aliens is one thing, but sending aquanauts deep down in the sea into old forgotten ships and what not is true nerve-racking horror. Just think about. Sure, the men we get are elite, but I have hard time believing they have any true experience in underwater combat. And here they are expecting to perform under water and kill totally unknown species of aliens with harpoon weapons, in the aliens home environment (often in complete darkness).
I don't know anything, but I'll be astonished if there isn't.Anyone know if there will be a preload option?
That's...impresve.
Generally, devs fucked modders hard lately. Every Total War lied time and time again about mods, others did the same.

Firaxis themselves lied about Xcom:EU mods.
I'm actually finding it hard to believe this isn't another "mods soon™" situation
Hm, the announced launch mods are pretty lightweight but cool I guess. I'll use em.
I was hoping to see LW's fatigue system, great for forcing you to build a substantial roster instead of just a dream team of your top 6. Oh well.
Sounds pretty cool. Also, could be just PR but that bit about "ownership" at ~16:40 really resonated, especially in today's market.
Aside from just rule modules and map bits, I'm hoping to see some kind of The Sims 3/Skyrim level of new/customized character shit like armor parts, skins, weapons and whatnot.
That and of course the first Power Ranger total conversion or something
