Aliens: Colonel Marines has been adorned with a new competitive multiplayer mode called Escale mode, which will be launched early next year on February 12.

The game is developed by Gearbox Software of the Borderlands fame and published by Sega in partnership with Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products. The game features four-player drop-in drop-out cooperative campaign as well.

“An exhilarating experience for fans of the ALIENS universe, Escape mode puts the four-person US Colonial Marines team on the offensive against a four-player Xenomorph team. The Colonial Marines must blast their way through the fast-paced map in order to escape the attacking Xenomorphs, who in return will try to eliminate their prey as quickly as possible,” reads the description.

“Under the pressure and limited in time, players will have to work together as a team, utilizing each faction’s unique skills, and identifying their opponents’ weak spots to either reach the safety of the escape point or to eliminate their targets.”
