Yes it is. The display can squash a CD key into multiple lines; I've had it happen with previous games.

1 day and 5 hours to unlock, so it seems I'm not going to sleep on Thursday night.

Got my GMG key, pre-loading now.

GMG sends you two keys, in the wrong order it seems. The top key is DLC, steam kicks back an error "hey you need to activate the original game first"
Second key activated XCOM 2 and the warrior pack. First key seems redundant. :shrug:

Get hype.

Same here. Hopefully everything worked out okay, it seems to be in my library. Now all that's left is to wait.

With the way the maps build themselves from parts, probably.

I got a gmg code for 27% off the DD edition. What is the XCOM 2 Reinforcement Pack? This seems to be the only thing that comes in the DD edition aside from music.

Today I'm... amped up!

Interesting way they decided to handle the first game.

(Potential) spoilers below, as it's an inference of mine based on an early autopsy cutscene.

Looks like the first game is actually just a simulation that the aliens hooked you up to after they captured you. You, and everybody else's playthroughs of the game basically form the broad strategic and tactical decisions that the aliens made getting the world to the point where it is now.

It would be really cool to see remnants of EXALT make an appearance and aid XCOM somehow. Their stated agenda was to benefit from alien technology, not collaborate with them so they might have been equally hosed when the aliens rolled in and cleaned house. Then again, if what I said above is true, then maybe they're just programmed into the simulation to see how you would react to and deal with an insurgency?

There's now a countdown timer to the unlock in your region on the Steam store page.

It's a staggered release. Australia gets it at 5am on the 5th... so in 24 hours.

Sounds like my original VPN plan to be Australian for five seconds will work, noice mate

From Steam:

ANARCHY’S CHILDREN is a rebellion themed DLC featuring more dramatic soldier customizations. (To be released in Spring 2016)
ALIEN HUNTERS introduces new soldier customizations and gameplay themed around XCOM as an elite alien hunting unit. Face off against “Ruler” aliens with new, more powerful weapons and armor. Experience a new dramatic mission & confrontation. (To be released in Summer 2016)
SHEN’S LAST GIFT introduces a new soldier class with unique upgradeable weapons, armor and customization features, and a new narrative-driven mission and map. (To be released in Summer 2016)

From steam:


Bolster your ranks with three themed DLC packs available together for an amazing discounted value*. Each themed content pack will add unique new twists to the core game experience:

*ANARCHY’S CHILDREN is a rebellion themed DLC featuring more dramatic soldier customizations. (To be released in Spring 2016)
*ALIEN HUNTERS introduces new soldier customizations and gameplay themed around XCOM as an elite alien hunting unit. Face off against “Ruler” aliens with new, more powerful weapons and armor. Experience a new dramatic mission & confrontation. (To be released in Summer 2016)
*SHEN’S LAST GIFT introduces a new soldier class with unique upgradeable weapons, armor and customization features, and a new narrative-driven mission and map. (To be released in Summer 2016)

So one new class, one mission thing with (possibly above the power curve) material rewards and one customisation dealio.

That is kind of surprising, unless people were trying to download it over the network you should only need to be connected long enough to get the game running
