XCOM 2 has an Ironman mode, yes, but the entire game seems designed around the idea that you can and possibly should reload to erase your mistakes.

How will you name your XCOM soldiers/personnel/VIP/ADVENT VIPs? Friends? Family? Kiwis?
Probably just stick with the auto-generated names unless they make you name them, then I'll go with historical figures like I usually do.
If you haven't been keeping up, you can actual make a permanent pool of prebaked rookies (Or base personall, or assasination targets, or etc) that can be randomly called up in ANY playthrough, so it's much more worthwhile to spend ages recreating celebs and such.
Assasinate Trump mission soon.
I had heard about the rookies, but not the assasination targets or other NPCs. That's pretty neat.

Here's a preview of the multiplayer. Concealment is a major mechanic. It's like hide-and-seek, except with aliens and plasma guns and enough high-ordnance explosives to level a major metropolitan city block.
In other news, pre-loading has begun.

I was expecting a midnight release here in the UK, but it looks like I'll be getting it an hour earlier than anticipated. This makes me a lot happier than I would've thought it would.
I am jonesing for this game so hard.
Xenonauts 2 will not be a chronological sequel, rather it will cover similar events taking place in an alternate timeline – an alien invasion occurring in a Cold War-era Earth. This means humanity does not start with the advanced alien technology unlocked in the first game, and we also have the freedom to subtly alter the story, setting and enemies in order to make a more interesting sequel.
Midnight can't come fast enough. My body is ready.
In town to get my wisdom teeth removed, so I won't be able to start downloading it until I get back.
