Tactical strategy fans have a specific date to mark on their calendars. Goldhawk Interactive and IGN South Africa report that Xenonauts 2 is officially leaving early access behind, with the full version 1.0 set to launch on PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store on April 2, 2026.

Whether you are a veteran of the original cult classic or jumping into the global war for the first time, April 2 brings a complete tactical package to PC platforms.
