The chances of XCOM: Chimera Squad making its way to PlayStation 4 in the near future appear to be very high as the PEGI ratings board has just finalised an appropriate age grading for a console port. Spotted by Final Weapon, the rating was made public yesterday. This tactical spin-off released on PC back in April 2020 and garnered fairly positive reviews at the time. PS4 players haven't had much in the way of XCOM 2-like experiences to play for the past couple of years, so despite not being quite as good as what came before it, we'd always going to welcome a port of XCOM: Chimera Squad.
Instead of allowing you to create your own squad of alien-fighting heroes, the game was based around 11 set soldiers each equipped with their own abilities and skills. Upon its original PC launch, Eurogamer concluded: "Chimera Squad is a lot more approachable than XCOM 2. It's more direct, less expansive, sure, but also a little less muddlesome to stupid people like me. This isn't XCOM 3, but it isn't pretending to be. It's something different - a characterful, sharp-edged, surprisingly rich side-quest."

Awesome! Best news of the day! This series is my personal all-time-favorite turn-based strategy series, even though it runs like crap on my PS4. Looking forward to playing this!
I'm not familiar with this game but "XCOM but more approachable" sounds good to me. XCOM on PS4 kicked my ass hard xD
A great opportunity for a PS5 patch for Xcom2 along with this game.
Will be buying!
Love a bit of xcom, looking forward to checking this one out, sounds interesting.
I enjoyed XCOM 2 but it was just too hard, I have also never felt so stressed on a map screen before 😂
YES!! I almost bought it for PC few days ago, but decided to wait for a while and hoping for console version.
I personally didn't think much of this. I only put in about 12 hrs before I gave up. The lack of building your own squad was a massive issue for me.
Great, looking forward. ☺️
I bought this on PC as soon as it came out, and I think it would work great on PlayStation, being much less fiddly than 2/WotC, and also making much less in the way of interesting mods to miss out on.
I am addicted to XCOM so definitely yes!
First day probably not.
