In XCOM 2, the experience is a little bit different as instead of fighting off invaders, you’ll be commanding a resistance force of sort to take back territory from the alien invaders. Levels are now procedurally generated vs. pre-rendered/set – so this will give it a bit of an edge in the replay-ability factor.
Releasing February 5th, the preorder discount above for XCOM 2 will last until tomorrow morning at 11AM Eastern.
