Any soldier, except Rookies, can be turned into MEC troopers, provided players have sufficient resources to create them. MEC troopers are large mech-type soldiers that still take up the same space (one tile) as all other soldiers. XCOM has a new class in addition to the preexisting Assault, Support, Heavy and Sniper called the MEC trooper (Mechanized Exoskeleton Cybersuit). UnitsĮnemy Within features new units on both the XCOM side as well as the Alien faction. The aim of this feature is to have XCOM be more clearly about a multi-national operation, whereas in Enemy Unknown all soldiers spoke American English.

The player can customize any soldier to speak in any language in the game: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Russian, and Polish.

It can be activated or left alone in Enemy Within, similar to Slingshot.Įnemy Within adds a much requested feature, which is the ability to let operatives speak in their native languages. It was originally planned to release for Enemy Unknown separately, but withheld due to Slingshot's poor fan reception. For Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, it is a standalone game that is bundled with the 'Elite Soldier Pack', DLC that enables players to further customize units and 'Slingshot', a set of three unique Council Missions that feature a special soldier.Įnemy Within includes 'Operation Progeny', a content pack similar to the Slingshot DLC. The game is DLC on PC and Mac, meaning the player needs Enemy Unknown in addition to Enemy Within to play. In an interview, Garth Deangelis, producer on Enemy Within, said that the expansion could be seen as a 'Director's Cut' to Enemy Unknown.

Enemy Within featured the same story progress of the same invasion from Enemy Unknown, but added more features, units, abilities, resources, and maps. It is a expansion pack to XCOM Enemy Unknown. XCOM Enemy Within was announced on August 21st, 2013, with a release date of November 12th that year.
