Long War Studios Changes Name

Long War Studios was the outfit responsible for the various XCOM 2 PC mods. It released several popular additional contents like the "Alien", "Laser" and "Perk". Recently though the modding team has changed its name and launched a new site as well. It's now known as Pavonis Ineractive and you can visit their site here.

Long War Mod

XCOM mods started coming out shortly after the game's release. One mod particular got the attention of both players and game developer Firaxis. The Long War Mod was the most extensive customized content that gave players plenty of hours' worth of gameplay. Several new characters were also added and allowed people to play the game in a new way. It's not always smooth sailing though when using the mods in the game. But the inconvenience seems worth it.

With the release of XCOM 2, it's just a matter of time before a Long War 2 Mod will appear. This time though, it seems Firaxis and Pavonis are working together for this upcoming project. The official XCOM site has promised to share the latest details about the upcoming mod sequel. Unfortunately, the upcoming Long Mod 2 is mostly likely available for Windows PC users. Hopefully, the sequel mod will have fewer kinks this time.
