One of XCOM’s best mods is getting a sequel.

The official XCOM site announced today that Long War 2 is coming to XCOM 2 on PC. The first Long War was a fan mod for XCOM: Enemy Unkown that came out in 2013. It was one of the most popular for the turn-based strategy game, adding new units and weapons in an entirely different story campaign. It also brought new concepts to the game, such as fatigued soldiers (so you couldn’t send the same people on multiple missions in a row). Also, the enemy aliens also research their own improvements, making them a more formidable foe over time.
