Jake Solomon, who is leading the development of XCOM 2, is quoted by IGN saying that 'They can have big beards, they can have really awesome haircuts, they can have some cool stuff that gives them a lot of characters and fits this idea of they’re this sort of hardened group, they’re not fresh-out-of-the-barracks Johnny Soldier this is really more of a Sons of Anarchy-type of squad.'
