The developers from Piraxis have shared new trailers for the upcoming XCOM Chimera Squad that introduce four playable characters. The events of the game take place 5 years after those of XCOM 2 and show humans and aliens working together to forge a civilization of cooperation and coexistence. XCOM Chimera Squad is coming to PC on April 24th.
Terminal lost her family in the invasion and was ultimately adopted by a doctor who’d lost her only daughter. She developed an interest in medicine and apprenticed under the doctor for years. Sadly, Terminal was orphaned again when an ADVENT attack wiped out their town. She was pulled from the rubble by a resistance group; once she recovered, she eagerly pledged her skills to their cause.
Godmother is a seasoned veteran with no time for nonsense, she demands nothing less than perfection from her squadmates. Godmother’s varied shotgun skills can destroy and flush enemies from cover, land guaranteed shots, and increase her chances for scoring critical hits—all while her extensive combat experience keeps her dodging incoming shots from enemies.
Verge was part of an ADVENT experiment to subvert Earth governments by mind-controlling human subjects. A master puppeteer, Verge used high-ranking officials to reassure the populace that the aliens had their best interests at heart. This intimate mental contact eventually led Verge to gain empathy for humanity, and he began supplying resistance groups with information. Now, Verge is the strongest offensive psion in Chimera Squad. Adept at disabling enemies and influencing their mental states, he is also skilled in telekinesis, able to rip enemies out of cover to improve squadmates’ hit chances.
Blueblood spent his formative years in City 31, during the occupation, with his father, a third-generation police officer. When his father transitioned from police work to private investigation, Blueblood apprenticed with his father’s detective agency, helping the underserved. He joined 31PD in its inception.
