Three additional factions have emerged to strengthen Earth's resistance – the Reapers, Skirmishers and Templars – each with its own unique abilities and contrasting philosophies. These factions provide powerful hero class soldiers to aid in missions and new opportunities for the strategy layer.
The Chosen are the most cunning enemies XCOM has ever faced, each with unique strengths and weaknesses that will be introduced with each new campaign. The Chosen are on the hunt for the Commander and will kidnap, interrogate, and kill XCOM’s soldiers to complete their objective. The Chosen can also invade the strategy layer and ravage XCOM’s global operations. Find and raid the Chosen’s strongholds to defeat the enemy for good.
A deadly new alien known as the Spectre, capable of creating dark copies of XCOM soldiers, has snuck onto the battlefield. Adopt new tactics to counter it as well as the explosive attacks of the ADVENT Purifier and the psionically charged ADVENT Priest.
Engage in tactical missions across new environments from abandoned cities devastated by alien bioweapons during the original invasion, to underground tunnels and xenoformed wilderness regions.
Manage XCOM’s relations with factions and counter The Chosen’s operations from the Avenger. Employ new Resistance Orders to prioritize your personal strategy. Soldiers, scientists, and engineers can now be deployed for Covert Actions that award supplies and boost faction favor if successfully completed.
Soldiers can develop bonds with compatible teammates for new abilities and perks. The SITREP system dynamically adds new modifiers to the tactical layer to make sure every mission provides a unique challenge. Advanced campaign options allow for finer adjustments to game length and difficulty.
Utilize the perfect strategy in new regular one-shot community challenges to claim the top spot on the global leaderboard.
Customize and pose your soldiers, then add filters, text and backgrounds to generate your own unique resistance posters that appear in-game and can be shared with friends.

You can play the GOG version with mods
1) Download and install XCOM 2 and the War of the Chosen expansion. 2) Go to XCOM 2 -> XCom2-WarOfTheChosen -> XComGame and add a new folder there. Call it "Mods". 3) Download the mods you wish to use (e.g. via Steam Workshop Downloader or Nexus) and put their folders into the "Mods" folder you have created. 4) Go to XCOM 2 -> XCom2-WarOfTheChosen -> XComGame -> Config and open "DefaultModOptions" with a text editor. 5) For each mod you wish to use, add a line that looks like this: ActivateMods="MODNAME" The name of the mod can always be found in the mod folder. For example, if the file is called "EvacAll_WOTC.XComMod", you need to write "ActivateMods=EvacAll_WOTC" (without the quotation marks). 6) Save the changed DefaultModOptions file and start the game. 7) If you wish to disable a mod, delete or change its line in the DefaultModOptions file. Just an amazing squad-based strategy game. Very addictive, especially with mods. I can't recommend it enough.
