ABOUT XCOM 2: WAR OF THE CHOSEN
The fight against ADVENT continues when additional resistance factions form in order to eliminate the alien threat on Earth. In response, a new enemy, known as the “Chosen,” emerges with one goal: recapture the Commander. This expansion to the 2016 award-winning strategy game of the year includes new Hero classes to counter the “Chosen”, new enemies, missions, environments and increased depth in strategic gameplay. Requires XCOM 2 to play.
ABOUT XCOM 2
XCOM 2 is the sequel to the award-winning strategy game, XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Twenty years have passed since humanity lost the war against the alien invaders and a new world order now exists on Earth. After years of lurking in the shadows, XCOM forces must rise and eliminate the alien occupation. Join the resistance. Available now on PC, Mac, Linux, PS4 and Xbox One.

will this be added to the soundtrack that you can download from steam?

Yesplease!!

[@northernepsilon2153]

Yeah, I'd really like that. pls&thx

[@edhart8583]

XCOM. Maybe with a patch for WOTC you should give Spectres mimic beacons which takes one action away from 2 to 3 closest XCOM soldiers to the mimic. They are too predictable when shadowbound is their first move always. Its also a counter to bond actions for Advent. Also, it seems you only see extended stats for dead soldiers only and not for the soldiers who lived and survived the campaign. It would be great to have more breakdown stats for soldiers for the game.

[@gaurd3]

Nice sound track. A lot tracks that bring you back to moments in the game. This was sorely missing from vanilla Xcom 2(which I used a EU music mod) . You guys recaptured the EU vibe. Nothing wrong with that, It was gold.

[@austinm5630]

21:13 When you're listening to a soundtrack for a game you've played for over a thousand hours and realize you haven't heard a track ever before, then you realize it's because this track is the music that plays when you're about to lose. *Signature look of superiority intensifies.*

Thanks!

As much as I love previous XCOM music, I gotta say this to me is by far the best soundtrack. Just wonderful.

A pity Hope is Lost isn't used more frequently throughout the game. It hammers in this feeling of "Gravity of the Situation" so good.

500th like right here! My Favorite track from the original XCOM 2 game is Ambush. Still undecided which one I like from War of the Chosen, but the Shen's Last Gift is my favorite of the two DLCs. You guys do such an awesome job with your soundtrack. XCOM was good before... your soundtracks make the game great.

[@zakuiizaki4938]

Thank you for sharing this!^^

What would be awesome is if we could buy sheet music of XCOM's soundtrack and be able to play it on piano and the like.

Glad that you uploaded the soundtrack, but in this day an age you should do that every time, because the soundtrack will find it's way onto youtube anyways if you want it or not, better you be the first and get all the juicy likes and views from day one eh? I esspecially like the Chosen Themes, they really set the mood. 'Ambush' my fav combat track, so good rolling to this music. Only thing the 'Metal And Steel' track is a bit overdramatic, while the old ready for battle track version felt a bit more in line with the game and was even synced to the character animations.

[@raushonhenry5335]

Does anyone know the remixed version of the menu music when you are selecting ther versions of the game? It's a higher octave of the original.

Absolutely insane music. Personally, i really enjoy the Spark. This might have something to do with me thinking: Oh no, those two berserkers are gonna kill so many civilians and my spark responding with: Hey, wouldja like two executions in a row?

[@Fiddlestickz1]

Probably saw that they were missing and included them now. It's a pity that official soundtracks NEVER contain all tracks, it's always a strictly limited amount to fit onto an audio cd. Like ambient tracks are never included, or the advent versions of the combat music. Witcher 3 received an extended soundtrack on spotify. Maybe Firaxis does this aswell, until then the youtube uploaders have to step up and upload all the music, especially the ones which are not included in the soundtracks.
