"XCOM 2 transports players 20 years into the future, where humanity lost the war against the alien threat that has established a new world order," the game's description states, according to IGN. "The secret paramilitary organization known as XCOM is largely forgotten, and must strike back to reclaim control of Earth and free mankind from the aliens' rule."

According to Gamma Squad, this new video tours the HQ of our characters that are fighting against the aliens in the future. The "Avenger" is a capture spaceship that acts as a menu for the game. There are different divisions of the ship, which include research, armory, and command bridge. This is where you sculpt your team for battles and develop better equipment.

Though XCOM is a straightforward kind of game, this adds to the appeal for most players. This upcoming title is one of the biggest fall releases of 2015, and we're sure that gamers will be happy with the final product.
