intend to repeat. And so they laid out their plans: Either day-and-date
with XCOM 2's November launch or soon thereafter, Firaxis intends to
release a full suite of modding tools – an Unreal Development Kit (UDK)
and the editor the developers use to create content - that will enable
modders to run wild with XCOM 2. 'It's yours now; do with it what you
want."
