There’s a look at things like the early part of the levelling tree for Specialist soldiers (who can apparently either opt for Battle Medic or Combat Hacker abilities,) and expansion opportunities like making contact with local resistance forces.

It also seems that Dr. Vahlen is either missing or has been given the push in XCOM 2 (perhaps due to her slightly alarming eagerness for live test subjects in the prior game,) replaced with a new research scientist.

Have a browse around the gallery below for the latest images. XCOM 2 will be released in November.
