Once players initiate a combat mission, they choose which of the playable characters will participate. Each mission may have multiple separate combat segments. 

Missions start in a planning phase called "breach mode", which allows players to position their units at designated points, from which they will enter the combat area. Different entry points present different bonuses and challenges for players, and players can split their units across multiple entry points.

Once combat starts, player-controlled units and computer-controlled enemies take turns based on their position through a mixed player-enemy turn order, a system which the game calls "interleaved turns". 

Some agents have abilities that enable them to modify the turn order, and once per mission the player can force one of their units to act next regardless of the turn order. This is a divergence from previous entries in the XCOM franchise, which had all player-controlled units act then all computer-controlled enemies act. 

Units have similar options as they did in previous XCOM games, including moving, attacking, taking defensive cover, or using special abilities. Some of these abilities synergize with other character's abilities.

Characters can be downed during combat, requiring another character to stabilize them, but if any character is not revived in time and dies, the mission fails and has to be restarted. 

As with previous games in the franchise, players will have the option of enabling "ironman mode", which limits them to a single save slot and imposes permadeath. A playthrough of the game's campaign is expected to take around 20 hours.

Like its predecessor, Chimera Squad will have extensive support for mods, which will allow players to add new characters, missions, and equipment to the game.

Synopsis

Chimera Squad is set in City 31, a model city with humans and aliens living alongside one another. It takes place five years after the events of XCOM 2: War of the Chosen, in which the titular organization defeated ADVENT, the alien-led government that ruled Earth for 20 years following an invasion. 

The game puts players in control of the eponymous squad, who serve as elite peacekeepers in the city, and are pitted against unknown elements that seek to destabilize City 31.

Plot

City 31's Mayor Nightingale is killed in a terrorist attack and Chimera Squad is tasked to find the culprit. During their investigation, Chimera Squad confronts three criminal factions, one at a time; The Progeny, a doomsday cult composed of individuals with psionic powers, Gray Phoenix, a street gang composed of aliens who see themselves unfit for Earth society, and Sacred Coil, a religious cult preaching salvation for those who opposed XCOM composed of former ADVENT soldiers and aliens. They eventually learn that these groups are somehow backed by a fourth, mysterious faction, which they codename as "Atlas".

Once all the three criminal groups are defeated, Atlas launch an attack on City 31's Town Hall and Chimera Squad rescues Deputy Mayor Parata while fending off the attackers. Soon after, they learn that Atlas' true intentions behind Nightingale's death and their support of the other factions was to spread chaos across City 31 to seize control of it. 

Chimera Squad then storms Atlas' hideout and defeat their leader. One month later, as Chimera Squad celebrates their victory, two individuals watching their headquarters from a monitor note that by the time XCOM realizes that they are in a new war with the mysterious new threat they represent, it will be too late to stop them.
