Firaxis and 2K have revealed the, by the looks of things, pretty beefy expansion for XCOM 2. War of the Chosen will release for PC, Xbox One and PS4 on August 29, only a couple of months away.

The Chosen in question are new alien heroes tasked with recapturing the Commander. The Assassin, the Hunter and the Warlock have different personalities and skills, and become stronger even as you do. Formidable adversaries indeed. Have some screenshots, too.
