Highly anticipated turn-based strategy with RPG elements – Xenonauts 2 is now available on GOG in its early access and with a -25% discount that lasts until July 25th, 8 AM UTC!

This sequel to the excellent 2014’s Xenonauts puts you in charge of a multinational military organization tasked with eliminating an extraterrestrial threat. Working from the shadows, you must seek out and engage the growing alien presence wherever it appears. Expand and manage a covert network of bases across the globe. Pursue research and development to bridge the technological gap with the alien invaders. Train, arm, and command your ground troops wherever the alien threat emerges.

Join us during our not one, but TWO streams of Xenonauts 2 on our Twitch Channel:

Today (July 18th, 11 PM UTC), our guest streamer Hercxena will show you how to fight aliens, and on July 23rd, 11 AM UTC, KingArgaroth will continue that fight! See you in the chat!



Although Xenonauts 2 is releasing in an early access, you can still enjoy a large portion of its tactical fun, and additionally be involved with the development process by providing your feedback. This way of development was proved incredibly useful during the making of the original Xenonauts, where the early access community made a huge difference to the final quality of the game.

Moreover, keep in mind that we always got your back with our 24/7 support and provide a 30-day refund policy, meaning that you can download, play, and refund any game within 30 days of purchase – no questions asked. It’s a great way to try things out!



When it comes to the game itself – in Xenonauts 2, it’s 2009 and the Cold War continues with the Berlin Wall still standing. In the shadows, a secret organization works beyond arbitrary political boundaries to gather information about a greater threat to humanity. Mysterious sightings of unidentified flying objects and unknown beings have grown more common, coinciding with escalating international tensions and panic. Those who report such sightings frequently disappear without a trace, and it is clear that the aliens grow bolder with each passing day. Time is of the essence.

Little is known about the alien menace when you take charge. You will need to engage in combat operations around the globe to learn what you're up against. Eliminate extraterrestrial forces in deadly tactical battles to recover research samples, allowing your scientists to improve your equipment and slowly uncover the truth about the alien invasion.



Xenonauts 2 provides an incredibly in-depth strategic layer. The war against the alien force takes on a global scale - as they attack indiscriminately, your troops must be prepared to operate across the globe using multiple bases, taking time between operations to rest, recuperate, rearm, research, and eventually re-engage the enemy. No two campaigns are the same as complex simulations ensure even the smallest variances in decisions will have far-reaching impacts across the entire game.



Be ready for a devastating tactical combat, in which whether you’re fighting in the air or on the ground, your prowess is always put to the test when engaging alien attackers. Battles are extremely dangerous affairs, asking you to manage positioning, ammunition, lines of sight, cover, and much more besides – many of your operatives will get wounded, and many of them will die, but those that survive grow more experienced and are more capable of taking on future dangers.

Xenonauts 2 is a standalone title that does not need any experience playing the original Xenonauts (although playing such a great title is an immense amount of fun itself) to follow the story or enjoy the gameplay experience. The punishing battles, in-depth strategic layer, and complex simulations will take fans of the series and newcomers alike through a dark and deadly story about the defense of Earth and all humankind.



Check out Xenonauts 2, make use of its -25% discount, and eliminate an extraterrestrial threat. Be sure to also check out other great games that are currently in early access and give them a shot. Now, it’s time for some strategy action!

Note: This title is currently in development. See the FAQ to learn more about games in development, and check out the forums to find more information and to stay in touch with the community.

Ancient-Red-Dragon: Do Xenonauts 2 have anything better in it than X COM 2: WOTC does? Or no?
Xenonauts is trying to be more like the original, not the newer Xcom games.

Wonder if dev will hire someone to program properly this time? The first game, he hired a guy that had file management behave like malware and antivirus software kept flagging the game. Plus the damn launcher kept making call outs, which was annoying.

You reading this dev? Turn off the call outs as a default please! The "offline installer" gives you a hint in the naming.

Initial impressions:

Its still In dev. So manual air combat tutorial isn't available, some flavour text is [to be added] and son had the UI go unresponsive.

BUT!

There's a significant difference in the world, with 2 going harder on Shadowy manipulation and secrecy rather than the slow defence probing and open invasion from 1.

While it doesn't look it in static images, the game is 3D, and model animation looks real good.

Already had a completely new mission type which was interesting and fun

Currently its familiar enough I can just pick up straight away but looks like its different enough to be its own game
