Offerwise, Green Man Gaming is running two offers at this time. In North America it's
possible to use a 23% voucher (XXCOM2-DIGDUL-23PERC ) on the Deluxe edition of XCOM 2.
Around the rest of the world, using the voucher GREENM-ANGAME-25PJAN would provide a 25%
discount on both editions of the game. More information on this can be found by contacting
john.wright@greenmangaming.com , the affiliate manager at Green Man Gaming.
Exclusive to Green Man Gaming is coverage by Matt Gardner, who has recorded exclusive
hands-on content for the game, as well as an interview with Lead Producer Garth DeAngelis.
This coverage highlights the game's improvements and gameplay, as well as goes into
discussion about the development of the game. Additionally, Green Man Gaming is offering
the ability to preload the game, meaning that when X COM 2 is unlocked at 5am GMT on the
25th, users will be able to play the game immediately.
Set in a world where the aliens won in X COM: Enemy Unknown, X COM 2 puts players in
the role of a new X COM, consisting of guerrillas that use hit and run tactics to
destabilise the new world government, known as ADVENT. As with any new iteration in a
series, X COM 2 is adding a bunch of new content to the series, including new enemies,
classes and weapons. Base-building and character customisation have been overhauled to
provide an unprecedented level of personalisation in the series, as well as a whole new
stealth system being added, which allows players to properly play the role of a guerrilla
force, as seen in the gameplay trailer itself:

Developed by Firaxis, the team behind the much-loved "Civilization" series, and
published by 2k, X COM: Enemy Unknown was released in 2012 to great acclaim. Critics and
gamers alike praised the game for its punishing difficulty, rewarding combat and near
unlimited replayability. A title that released on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, X COM: Enemy
Unknown bought the once-niche tactical combat into the mainstream eye, with over three
million gamers owning the title on Steam at this time, which of course doesn't include
console sales.
When XCOM: Enemy Within launched a year later in 2013, it was clear that Firaxis had
taken feedback to heart, on what worked and what didn't work in the original release.
Filled with bug fixes and quality of life improvements, it was clearly showed how Firaxis
learnt from feedback and criticism at the original release. Adding in the ability to
genetically and physically modify your character's, XCOM: Enemy Within also explores
trans-humanism, which is a more and more commonplace theme in modern video gaming.
Now, with XCOM 2, it's clear that they've done even more of just this. Abandoning
console releases, and making XCOM 2 a PC exclusive, Firaxis are now able to focus on
making the best game they can as they're able to take the full power of the PC on board,
which allows them to provide much improved graphical fidelity and modability through the
Steam Workshop, as well as the ability to focus entirely on creating the best experience
possible for the platform.
