The developer has yet to confirm the release date or price point so expect an official announcement in the coming days. Aliens: Fireteam Elite is set in, surprise, the Alien universe and places you in command of a Marine Assault Unit. When a distress signal emerges from LV-895 in the outer colonies, it’s up to you to slay Xenomorphs, either alone with AI teammates or two other players in co-op.

Along with different weapons and perks, there are different class abilities like an AoE blast, auto-turret and so on. Over 20 different enemy types await with Xenomorph Drones, Runners and Spitters to tackle. Aliens: Fireteam Elite is coming to Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC and Xbox One.

Cold Iron Studios’ Aliens: Fireteam will have you shooting a bunch of different enemies. There are more than 20 different enemy types to encounter and IGN has revealed new details on six of the Xenomorphs encountered. There’s the Burster, which explodes when killed (and is to be avoided up close).

The Drone should be more familiar to Alien: Isolation players – they stalk the marines menacingly through air shafts and walls before attacking. The Praetorian is the de facto “tank” which soaks up a lot of damage and can ram foes with its bullet-proof head. The Prowler is relatively new and will leap on foes to attack them.

Runners should also be familiar, attacking in packs and using their tails to fight. Finally, there’s the Spitter which shoots acid out from a distance. Expect more details on other enemy types in the coming months, especially with Synthetics from Weyland-Yutani opposing the player.

Aliens: Fireteam is slated to release in Summer 2021 for Xbox One, PS4, PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5.

Cold Iron Studios’ Aliens: Fireteam was unveiled recently and provides a three player co-op survival shooter experience set sometime after the third movie. It sees a squad of marines venturing to the USS Endeavor and battling hordes of Xenomorphs. IGN First has 25 minutes of raw gameplay available, showcasing the game in action – check it out below.

There are five different classes and more than 30 weapons to choose from which can be customized with over 70 mods. Each has their own unique abilities, as showcased in the gameplay, and you can wield weapons like the flamethrower and even a gatling gun. Though it’s the default difficulty, the development team is serious about providing a challenge at higher tiers.

To that end, there will be mutators, Challenge Cards and difficulty options. Scarce resources and friendly fire were mentioned as some of the tougher mechanics to deal with at higher difficulty. Aliens: Fireteam is out this Summer for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5 and PC. Expect more details and potentially a public beta in the coming months.

Recently announced co-op shooter Aliens: Fireteam promises a harrowing survival experience against Xenomorphs when it launches this Summer. Set after Alien 3, it sees the Colonial Marines traveling to the USS Endeavor to deal with an infestation. In a preview event on Discord, Polygon received several new details about what players could expect.

Cold Iron Studios head Craig Zinkievich revealed that along with the classic M41A Pulse Rifle and fragmentation grenades, there would be new weapons like the Charge Coil. These are essentially stick grenades that can shock and stun Xenomorphs. As for the classes, which are designed with “tactical synergy in mind”, some details on their abilities were revealed. The Technician gets an auto-turret; the Demolisher can utilize an AoE blast; and the Gunner can briefly bestow double fire rate and reload speed for the squad.

Along with the usual Xenomorphs, Facehuggers and Praetorians, players can also expect Spitters, Warriors and Bursters to assault them (that too from air ducts and the like). Zinkievich noted that the game “has to be challenging” but there will be difficulty options, Challenge Cards and mutators to help players tailor their experience. There are four story campaigns with three missions each that can either be played in one shot or individually.

As players level up their marines, they’ll receive new abilities, weapons and customization options (along with a Perk Board for modifying abilities). And though it can be played with up to two other players, you can have AI squadmates filling in as well.

Aliens: Fireteam is currently in development for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5 and PC. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.

20th Century Fox and Cold Iron Studios have announced a new co-op third person shooter set in the Alien universe. Aliens: Fireteam sees up to three marines battling against Xenomorphs in a fight for survival and will be releasing for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PC and PS5. Check out the first trailer below.

Taking place during the original Alien trilogy, players will board the USS Endeavor and battle the Xenomorph hive. There are 20 different enemy types, ranging from Xenomorphs to Facehuggers and Praetorians. Each is described as having “their own intelligence to ambush, outsmart and eviscerate vulnerable marines.”

Players can choose from one of five classes – Gunner, Demolisher, Technician, Doc and Recon – along with over 30 weapons. You can customize these weapons with more than 70 mods and attachments. The classic assault rifle and flamethrower appear to be staples of the marines’ arsenal but expect even more to be revealed.

Aliens: Fireteam is out this Summer with more details to come in the meantime. Stay tuned for more updates in the meantime.
