If you lost one to a failed base defense mission it was not the end of the world. In the original X-COM (UFO: Enemy Unknown – 1994), you could have several bases spread across the globe. Now, it’s unclear what will happen if you lose your base defense mission. So, prepare for some action inside your own Headquarters. And, the raiders are the aliens, not the Exalt – the expansion’s new Human rival faction – contrary to what one might have been led to believe. XCOM: Enemy Within will indeed feature XCOM base defense. The security breach trailer hinted that way, and lead designer Ananda Gupta kind of suggested that possibility in our interview, but now it’s finally confirmed.
