XCOM 2 continues its invasion on Xbox One starting Sept. 6 in the U.S.

Firaxis and 2K Games will bring XCOM 2, the PC turn-based strategy game sequel, to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. It will be released in the U.S. on September 6 and in the rest of the world on Sept. 9.

XCOM 2, is set 20 years in the future where humanity lost the war against the alien threat and a new world order is in place. XCOM, formerly a secret paramilitary organization, is largely forgotten and must strike back from the shadows to reclaim Earth from the aliens' rule and free mankind from its evil plans.

People who pre-order the console versions of XCOM 2 will get some free extras:

Players who pre-order XCOM 2 will also receive the Resistance Warrior Pack, offering additional soldier customization options such as bonus outfits, headgear and custom facial war paint. The Resistance Warrior Pack also includes a "Survivor of the Old War," a new XCOM recruit who will appear in the Avenger's barracks. Additionally, players who pre-order the XCOM 2 Digital Deluxe Edition will receive the XCOM 2 Reinforcement Pack* which includes all paid XCOM 2 DLC along with the base game and Resistance Warrior Pack.
