Twenty years have passed since Earth's leaders offered an unconditional surrender to alien forces. XCOM, the planet’s last line of defense, was left decimated and scattered. The aliens rule Earth, building shining cities that promise a brilliant future for humanity on the surface, while concealing a sinister agenda and eliminating all who dissent from their new order.

Always on the run, and facing impossible odds, the remnant XCOM forces must find a way to eliminate the alien threat once and for all. That's where you come in:

TAKE COMMAND of the Avenger, an alien supply craft converted to serve as XCOM's mobile and customizable headquarters.
RECRUIT RESISTANCE FIGHTERS with five distinct skill trees and assemble the perfect squad to fit your playstyle and execute your tactical plans.
RESEARCH, DEVELOP AND UPGRADE weapons and armor for your soldiers aboard the Avenger. Turn the aliens' technology against them!
TACKLE UNIQUE MISSIONS around the world, from wildlands to the hearts of alien-controlled megacities and the depths of alien installations. Countless combinations of maps, missions, and goals await.
EMPLOY GUERRILLA TACTICS to ambush alien patrols, loot enemy gear and artifacts, and rescue fallen comrades and VIPs.
CONFRONT POWERFUL ENEMIES including previously unseen alien species and the regime's ADVENT peacekeeping forces.
TEST YOUR SKILLS in head-to-head multiplayer battles that pit squids of humans and aliens against each other on randomly generated maps.

Your actions in XCOM: Chimera Squad will shape the fate of City 31. Five years after the events of XCOM 2, humanity has driven back the Overlords and City 31 has emerged as a beacon for cooperation and coexistence. It’s home to a melting pot of humans, hybrids and aliens - all trying to find their way in this new post-war world. Many have chosen the path of peace, but there are sinister agents lurking in the shadows who work to destroy the fragile peace forged in City 31.



Enter Chimera Squad, an elite group of agents tasked with keeping the peace in City 31. Each agent in Chimera Squad has their own story, unique set of skills and motivations driving them, all of which you’ll learn in XCOM: Chimera Squad as you uncover conspiracies, breach enemy strongholds and work to keep City 31 from descending into chaos. The future of City 31 depends on you.
