Who are those mysteriously silhouetted, stoic soldiers above? To find out, we sent a veteran squad of top writers. Only Tom Senior returned, steely-eyed and resolute. He’d seen things, man. Things like XCOM: Enemy Within, the giant expansion Firaxis are researching in their tactical underground bunker. Over a massive six page preview, he’ll explain to you how they plan to add more choices, more dangers, and more ways to heroically sacrifice your team in service of the greater good.
