Totalbiscuit has additional details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waQyBzm0NV8&t=9m45s

1. There are going to be 5 classes, revamps of the 4 we know and love and one mystery class.

2. Increased customization, veteran cosmetic upgrades, increased gender and nationality customization.

3. It will be possible to surprise aliens and shoot first before they scurry into cover.

4. Procedurally generated levels

5. AI improvements

6. Backpack management, so presumably soldiers will be able to pick up alien/fallen comrades' equipment or at least carry more stuff.

Love this game, must have started and played it 40-60 hours 3-4 times, and have yet to beat it. Once those damn mind control fooks show up i get hammered, my game play style I'm sure, not enough mechanical units, don't start psy labs soon enough, etc.. I am slow and really work the move and cover systems (backfires on large explosions sometimes).

Xcom 2 and Fallout 4.. now how long do we have to wait?

XCOM 2 is apparently coming out in November. Not sure about fallout.
