Chris Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Hello everyone - it's finally happening! Our publisher announced the release date for Xenonauts 2 and unveiled our release date trailer. I've posted the press release below for you guys to read... although there's probably not much new info there if you're a seasoned follower of the game! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- We’re very excited to announce that Xenonauts 2 is leaving Early Access and releasing as 1.0 on April 2, 2026, marking the end of a journey that has seen nearly three years of steady updates and improvements to the game. Here’s our announcement trailer: The Road to 1.0 (and Beyond) Xenonauts 2 has changed a great deal during the Early Access period, with our seven major updates adding: Four new alien races, and five new types of UFO Dozens of new research projects, and the battlefield equipment and aircraft unlocked from them The new Strategic Operations and Supporters systems for the Geoscape Our expanded Cleaner storyline, with three new unique mission types Two new unique story missions set on an alien orbital station A climactic two-part final mission and ending cutscene A complete visual revamp of the air combat minigame (and a tutorial for it!) Strategic UI art that changes and improves as you progress through the game Many, many new maps (there’s now 180+ in the game) Lots of quality of life, balance and performance improvements Although reaching 1.0 is a major milestone, it doesn’t mean our work is done – we’re planning to continue patching and improving the game after the launch (and create mod tools). The feedback and advice we’ve received from the community during the Early Access period has been hugely important in making Xenonauts 2 the game it has become, and we want to thank everyone who has supported us on this journey. 6 Quote
Alienkiller Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Yeah, let´s hope for a great Launch. I personaly feel after the last years with the Beta- and some Milestone-Testings that we have made an great Game in an new X-COM-Style. I loved the old X-COM-Series (esp. the first 2 Games which play on Earth) and I hope Xenonauts 2 gives now the great Feeling from old X-COM back. I personaly hope, that the Devs will bring in more cool Content / Features in with DLCs about the Fact, that it get translated in German and other Languages. The Game have a lot of Potential like the old X-COM-Series and the new XCOM-Series. Quote
