XENONAUTS 2 XNT FREE

In November 2016, Goldhawk began distributing free development builds of Xenonauts 2 with fortnightly updates. In February 2016, Goldhawk officially announced Xenonauts 2, with the game scheduled to be released in 2017.

Project lead, Chris England remarked that he wanted them to be both visually and mechanically more interesting than in Xenonauts. They also set out to redesign the aliens for the sequel. The developers believed that this decision gave them the freedom to alter the story, setting and enemies to craft a more interesting game. Setting the game in an alternate timeline meant that humanity would not possess the advanced alien technology from Xenonauts.

The use of 3D graphics would enable features such as objects with physics behavior and rotating the camera angle. The development team's main concern with the transition to 3D graphics was whether they could create an art style that looked good and replicated the sprites from the original game. It will make use of 3D graphics rather than the 2D sprites of its predecessor. The game is being developed using the Unity game engine. At the time, the possibility of Xenonauts 2 becoming their next project was still under evaluation. In 2015, Goldhawk Interactive began prototyping and designing a potential sequel to their 2014 game Xenonauts. Though like its predecessor, Xenonauts 2 is inspired by X-COM: UFO Defense. Xenonauts 2 takes place in an alternate history timeline during the Cold War, rather than being a chronological sequel to Xenonauts. Xenonauts 2 is a turn-based tactics video game.
