Check Out The Templar Faction In The Latest XCOM 2: War of the Chosen Trailer

July 19, 2017 by Jordan Coetsee

Harness Psionic energy to defeat your enemies.

Firaxis’ XCOM 2 has released a new trailer for their upcoming expansion titled War of the Chosen, depicting new enemies, new environments, new events and new resistance factions, with Templar faction taking the limelight in clip.

The Templar is essentially an Assassin-psionic type character, making use of energy and blades to take out their opponents. Every kill builds up the Templar’s ‘focus’ allowing them to cast Volt. The Volt in its early stages allows players to use a powerful sniping attack, once fully charged however, it can become devastating, striking multiple enemies at once.

Players should note that focus is a resource, players will have to balance spending and recharging to become as effective as possible.

XCOM 2: War of the Chosen arrives on August 28th for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

Don’t know what XCOM 2 is? Check out the game’s official excerpt below:

Earth has changed. Twenty years have passed since world leaders offered an unconditional surrender to alien forces. XCOM, the planet’s last line of defense, was left decimated and scattered. Now, in XCOM 2, 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. 

XCOM 2 is out now for PS4, PC and Xbox One.
