Some explosive co-op action is coming our way, with Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 getting an August 25th release date announced today. I’m going to have to grab this one. Aliens is one of my all-time favourite movies and it really sounds like they’ve improved upon the first game.
They’ve confirmed the standard edition will be $49.99, and a Premium Edition will be $69.99 that seems to include a few skins and weapon variants.
More about it: “Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 drops up to four players into the boots of Colonial Marines deployed to the most hostile corners of the Aliens universe. This is not a rescue mission – it’s a fight for survival. Xenomorphs stalk the corridors, ambush from the shadows, and swarm in overwhelming numbers. Every room could be your last. Coordinate with your fireteam, leverage each class’s unique abilities, and adapt on the fly as encounters escalate from tense standoffs to all-out war. With deeper squad mechanics, smarter enemies, and a fully customizable Specialist class, AFE2 delivers the definitive co-op Aliens experience.”
