Aliens Fireteam Elite 2 announced, coming later this year

Check it out below.

Aliens Fireteam Elite 2 was announced by Daybreak Game Company and Cold Iron Studios, and is expected to release later this year.

Aliens Fireteam Elite 2 expands the fight to four-player co-op, dropping a fireteam of hardened colonial marines into the most dangerous corners of the Aliens universe,” the duo said in a press release.

“What begins as a rescue mission quickly spirals into a desperate fight for survival. Xenomorphs stalk the corridors, ambush from the shadows, and swarm in overwhelming numbers. Pathogen horrors and Weyland-Yutani combat synths add new layers of threat. Coordinate with your fireteam, leverage new and improved character classes, and adapt on the fly as encounters escalate from tense close-quarters combat to all-out horde warfare.”

“With Aliens Fireteam Elite 2, we’re doubling down on the action and the terror, delivering an experience worthy of the Alien franchise,” said Chris Cross, Game Director on Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2.

“We are all massive fans of the franchise, and we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to craft a sequel to Aliens Fireteam Elite, a game that successfully brought to life the fantasy of colonial marines facing off against the iconic and terrifying xenomorphs. This sequel expands the action to four players, introduces new character classes including a fully customizable Specialist, and takes the fight to immersive new environments across the Aliens universe.”

We reviewed the original Aliens Fireteam Elite here, awarding it a rather dismal 3.5/10.

Expect Aliens Fireteam Elite 2 later this year on Windows PC via Steam and Epic Games Store alongside Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PS5.
