Transcript:
In 2015, humanity was defeated by aliens and XCOM has become a thing of the past. In only 20 short years, they’ve gained control of Earth through the ADVENT administration.
Humanity has been reorganized into ADVENT controlled Mega Cities and provided the cure to cancer, plenty of shelter, and food in the form of CORE, made from mouthwatering “reclaimed protein”. Still, thousands go missing every year and a mysterious contagion threatens both humans and aliens alike. The only resistance is lead by scattered guerrilla groups.
Lead by an original XCOM operative, one of these groups respond to a mysterious SOS beacon and, entirely by chance, runs into an intelligence officer searching the remains of an XCOM bunker. Together, they also discover Dr. Raymond Shen en route via submarine to a secret XCOM base in a volcano on an island somewhere near Antarctica because that’s awesome. Since the invasion, this base has served as Dr. Moira Vahlen’s lab to study the aliens and their technology.
But when the not-so-secret base comes under ADVENT attack, Dr. Vahlen activates the defense system which simply boils all the aliens in a lava soup. The remaining members of the new XCOM then find and restore the Avenger, a converted alien supply ship that would serve as their mobile base of operations.
With renewed hope, Central Officer Bradford returns from hiding to recover the last piece of the puzzle: You.
Have Fun, Commander!
