Elite Soldier Pack
• Classic X-COM Soldier: Players will instantly receive a new recruit in their barracks inspired by the original X-COM: UFO Defense. The iconic soldier with the blonde, flattop hairstyle will return fully modernized.
• Soldier Deco packs: Players can customize their soldier with several aesthetic upgrades to armor suits, including the new Hyperion and Reaper soldier armor kits.
• Complete color customization: A variety of colors and tints for all armor sets in the game allow players complete control to customize their squad’s look.
The retail copy will carry a $49.99 price tag and of course, be powered by Steamworks. If you want to step it up a notch, you can opt for the XCOM: Enemy Unknown – Special Edition which includes a copy of the game, a fold-out poster of the XCOM headquarters, an art book, an insignia patch, and even the soundtrack (along with a $59.99 price tag).
