Meet the Reapers, a faction of marksmen in XCOM 2: War of the Chosen for macOS and Linux

War of the Chosen introduces three factions, pockets of resistance against the alien threat. The factions are unaffiliated with XCOM, so you must win them over to recruit their powerful soldiers.

The Reapers are a scrappy group of human loyalists who live on the fringes of society.

A Reaper unit is an infiltration specialist and stealth marksman. With “Shadow”, its enhanced Concealment mode, the Reaper has greater mobility options than most XCOM soldiers.

Reapers use the powerful Vektor rifle and a special explosive called a Claymore – a targetable incendiary device that can be used in Concealment. The most skilled Reapers can attach Claymores to enemy units, turning them into walking bombs.

Buy XCOM 2: War of the Chosen from the Feral Store to encounter the Reapers.

Please note: you must own XCOM 2 in order to play War of the Chosen.

Hotseats & Halberds Update for Total War: MEDIEVAL II Out Now!

EMPIRE may be the most recent entry in the Total War series to have landed on mobile, but that doesn’t mean Total War: MEDIEVAL II should be forgotten. On the contrary, Feral’s armourers have been toiling at the forge, hammering out a comprehensive patch, and today we’re excited to release the Hotseats & Halberds Update!

On the Hotseat side of today’s patch, the asynchronous multiplayer of desktop Kingdoms makes a triumphant return in a new and improved form. Owners of Kingdoms on mobile can now play hotseat mode on the Kingdoms campaigns, and the Grand Campaign of the base game for the very first time!

And, it’s not just Halberds that are feeling the love… The other half of the update introduces a massive assortment of balance updates to different units — most notably, a new Cohesion mechanic ensuring that Pikemen formations perform more reliably.

A full breakdown of the Hotseats & Halberds can be found on our blog, as well as a mammoth list of all the changes. But, if you’ve already read enough, charge to the app store of your choice and update today!

The Hotseats & Halberds Update — Coming Soon to Total War: MEDIEVAL II on iOS & Android

The next update to Total War: MEDIEVAL II is right around the corner, and it’s a big one!

The Hotseats & Halberds Update will be dropping on the 19th of June and we’ll be covering all the content in not one, but two blog posts (did we mention it was a big one?).

The update’s name hides some pretty large clues as to its content, so head to our social channels to share your speculation, and keep your eyes on our news feed where we’ll be spilling the beans in the coming days.
