XCOM 2: Anarchy’s Children DLC Coming Soon

Firaxis and 2K have released information on the first DLC that’s going to be released for XCOM 2, Anarchy’s Children. Those who were hoping for something substantial will be disappointed: the $4.99 DLC, which is also sold as part of the Reinforcement Pack bundle, will only add more customization options for the title.

It’s not exactly riveting stuff, though I’m sure someone will be excited about the added hairstyles:

Greetings, Commander. We’re excited to reveal more info today on Anarchy’s Children, the first DLC pack coming to XCOM 2 on March 17.

Anarchy’s Children features over 100 new exotic customization options for your soldiers, including new hair styles, face paints, armor, lower face props, decals, helmets, masks and more. Your soldiers will strike fear into ADVENT and its alien overlords with menacing tactical styles that run the gamut from post-apocalyptic to the downright deranged.

In principle I don’t have anything against DLC that exists purely to add cosmetic options, but $4.99 seems far too steep a price for something like this. In better news, though, Firaxis promises that they’ll release more information soon on a patch that should solve some of the performance problems that plagued the game since release:

Additionally, we’re preparing a patch that will include performance optimizations and gameplay bug fixes. We will have more info to share on this very soon.
