It was first released in early 2013, and it exited beta at the end of 2015. Almost every aspect of the original game is altered, creating a longer, more difficult campaign that presents players with more strategic choices and customization options. Long War adds a significant number of new soldier classes, abilities, weapons, armors, and usable items, and also introduces new features, including soldier fatigue and improvements to alien units over the course of the game.The mod was developed by a team that came to include four core members, with assistance from 29 contributors, 20 voice actors, and three members of Firaxis Games, the developer of Enemy Unknown and Enemy Within. According to one of the mod's core developers, Amineri, the mod started as a series of changes to the base game's configuration file, and grew more expansive as the team's capabilities grew. By the end of the mod's development, the team was working directly with the Unreal Development Kit, and had created a Java-based tool to help manage the changes that the mod was making.Long War has received praise from both video game journalists and from the developers at Firaxis. It has been downloaded over 650,000 times, by over 500,000 different users. Firaxis announced that XCOM: Enemy Unknown's sequel, XCOM 2, would have built-in support for modding. XCOM 2's lead developer pointed to Long War as a reason for that decision. Partially as a result of the increased modding support, XCOM 2 is set to be exclusive to personal computers."@en }
