    1. Poo

      HELL YEAH!!!

    2. Amenbrother

      Ohhhhh boy.

    3. Brendan Charles

      I didnt think this would happen- but giddy at the fact that it is!

      1. crashmonkey

        Ditto! oh sweat fancy moses this is an insta buy

    4. DuckyShot

      I want this now, but how much space will it most likely take up? I'm guessing around 2.5gb

      1. Based Xatu

        No way. It's the original game and the add-on. The original games is 3 GB installed. Unless of course you mean download size, if so I'm sorry for my comment.

    5. Amenbrother

      How playable and enjoyable will this be on a 6 plus?

      1. iammane

        I played the hell out of Enemy Unknown on my iPhone 5, it'll be just fine on 6+ but your mileage may vary

      2. SoyGreen

        Enemy Unknown was great on it. This should be as well.

    6. iammane

      I didn't think this was gonna happen this is awesoooooommeeeeee!!!!!!!!! Very pumped

    7. RomanReigns

      This one shud be included as an update to already existing xcom than to spend £££ again on an expansion.but as an xcom fan,i'll buy it......

      1. rotopenguin

        The original is already at the 2GB (compressed from app store) size limit. Asking a 12GB iPad to give up 7GB (plus the app store download!) for the whole shebang is just too much. With the game split the space-impaired can uninstall the part they're done with.

      2. FootSoldier

        No it shouldn't. I'd pay happily, so we can get more great games from the developers.

    8. douced024

      I smell a crash coming.

    9. Bischi777

      The addon was also available as standalone for consoles, so this should't be an issue. I just hope your soldiers will be customisable (colors and armor apperance) which was missing in the ios version of the vanilla game. Yeah i know this is not important but i missed it :-)

      1. Robert McGovern

        I was about to post that myself. That's how it was on the Xbox 360.

    10. mikeydjs

      OMG! Shut up and take my money!!! But I am anticipating the inevitable crash😔

      1. mrktrx

        That damn crash

    11. anabolicMike

      I forgot I bought this game. Never played more then a minute of it.... Why am I such a fool? I buy so many games and play only seconds of em. Heh that trailer made me hard I my unmentionables.... Must....play....

    12. SuperSoupy

      I'm reallly hoping they fix a bunch of bugs before this goes live, or at the very least patch some bugs out in an update soon after it hits.

      Enemy Unknown on iOS is amazing. But it crashes. All. The. Time.

      1. crashmonkey

        yeah, i played on a flight home from vaca and it must have crashed 10-12 times during the 3.5 hours in the air.

      2. ImLegend

        The last level is complete DARK on phone, hopefully they will fix it

        1. sermad

          YEAH! I'm still stuck on the last level. I actually tried to play it totally in the dark and yes I am a sadist.

      3. DasLicht

        Enemy Unknown works stable on my iPad Air2 128GB, but the graphics are broken on iOS8.1

    13. Skiz

      I'm glad this is happening but I hope it is done properly and is optimised well with decent quality graphics instead of the low poly count and poor controls of Xcom enemy unknown on IOS

      1. DasLicht

        poor control? Control works perfectly here on an iPad Air

    14. Robert McGovern

      They kept this very quiet. I had begun to think they'd given up on the platform.

      Curious to know if they'll be supporting Metal / any fancy graphical support for the new iPad or iPhones.

    15. Mj1ggy

      Just started playing this on PC - the expansion is a welcome addition as it adds a LOT. The base game felt very basic to me to the point of almost being boring while Enemy Within really fleshes things out significantly. Now if only you could get the Long War mod on mobile...

    16. zergslayer69

      First question that came to mind. How gimped are the graphics? Shadows?

      And for those who played this before, did the DLC content tie in with the main game? For example use your money/stats from the main game? Or was the DLC completely separate on its own with its own characters and missions?

    17. Luciano1084

      Ok Banner saga, battle academy 2, battle world Kronos and now this.. Amazing! Last 30 days have been amazing for strategy game lovers ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    18. iValerio1990

      After months of silence...finally a TRUE game.

    19. hervin89

      Voice over sounds like Optimus prime! Never played xcom before so might have to get this.

    20. Luciano1084

      Seriously 11 o'clock can't get here soon enough

    21. islesfan

      Is this a full plus expansion version? In other words, can I replace the original XCOM with this to save space or will I need both?

    22. KLLZ

      I hope it includes the other DLCs. I really want the custom helmets and the Slingshot mission.

      1. CHEESEYZOMBIE

        Well I'm pretty sure the custom items have been already confirmed on the IGN post but i'm still not sure about the Slingshot missions tho...

    23. Martymcsmartie

      Flying to US on Sat, boom! Perfect timing for this! (Adding to the fact not many games of this calibre out lately...)

    24. Stuart Nicholson

      Jumped in too quick and spent AUS$7 on just basically a guide. Should have checked more thoroughly.

      1. Martymcsmartie

        Yeah, when you look at it.....hmmmm....bit naughty that...sneaky beggars!

      2. DasLicht

        Something like this should be banned from AppStore

    25. DasLicht

      What about that Music Bug which somone reported on AppStore? Is that fixed? Hopefully they fix the iOS8.1 graphic bug for EU aswell!
