Hello, GOG team and GOG fellow players!
I'm new to this community and not familiar with how things happen here so ... apologies in advance!
My question is, when to expect XCOM Chimera Squad on GOG?

Hi welcome to GOG!
Unfortunately there's no guarantee of XCOM Chimera Squad coming to GOG anytime soon. Due to the DRM Free requirement of all games sold here, many publishers are hesitant to release their games on GOG. We only recently got XCOM 2 in March, so who knows when or if we'll see Chimera Squad here. I hope it does come though!

Yes, i'm familiar with GOG DRM Free policy, just wanted to know about how long dose it take for a game to come to GOG but i get the picture. Thank you!

Xcom 1 Enemy unknown was released in 2010 or 2011 and expansion Enemy Within in 2012 iirc... but we had to wait summer 2018 for GOG release

XCom 2 had been released in february 2016, War of the Chosen on last quarter of 2017 and GOG got them by march 2020... i let you do the maths

however, chimera squad seems a "different" project in many ways, for the devs studio and publisher, given the launch price that is discounted right off the bat (below 10 bucks), so maybe the game could drop by here faster than his older brothers

Still dont expect simultaneous launch, my safe bet would be around at least 2 years

I am loving this game right now, the breaching mechanic is so nice, I hope they add it for mission variety in XCOM 3

It's being reported in the Steam reviews that despite being a singleplayer game it requires internet always on.
Also that it sends user data to a number of places. The DRM and anticonsumer practices are strong in this one.

GOG won't let me post links, but feel free to browse the reviews.

That's the launcher, which for some unknown reason is some kind of webbased monstrosity. You can launch the xcom.exe from the install folder and it doesn't rely on internet then.
