"We should have done this on Enemy Unknown," said senior producer Garth DeAngelis back at Gamescom, "and we want to give the community more tools to make things like the Long War, or whatever you want to do. I fell in love with the preview build we played back in December, but one of the big changes coming with XCOM 2 - that we're yet to see for ourselves - is an added focus on mod support, with a range of official tools available from day one. We imagine one of those projects has to be another ridiculous (in the very best way) overhaul mod, but what else are they working on? The reveal comes via the official XCOM blog, which states that Long War Studios is "currently hard at work on multiple mods for XCOM 2".

Good news for XCOM 2, as developers, Firaxis Games, have announced a partnership with recently formed Long War Studios, the team behind XCOM: Enemy Unknown's incredible Long War mod.
