Developed by Firaxis Games and published by 2K for PC and consoles, XCOM 2: War of the Chosen adds a massive amount of content to XCOM 2.
War of the Chosen brings thrilling new material to the fight against ADVENT, the human enforcers of the alien regime occupying Earth. When additional resistance factions emerge to eliminate the invaders, a sinister new enemy, the “Chosen”, arises. They have one goal: to recapture the Commander of XCOM. The expansion includes new Hero classes to counter the “Chosen”, new enemies, missions, even more challenging environments and increased depth in strategic gameplay.
In this episode, TIM WYNN will take us into two tracks from his original game score. First, he breaks down his forceful and menacing main theme for The Chosen. Second, he describes the track "Metal and Steel." He describes the momentum-building music that is heard when the player prepares for a mission and the techniques employed to deliver what he calls “2 minutes of adrenaline.”
