Cold Iron Studios in collaboration with 20th Century Games, have announced Aliens: Fireteam, a new cooperative third-person survival shooter set within the Alien universe.

Set 23 years after the original Alien trilogy, Aliens: Fireteam drops players into the role of a Colonial Marine aboard the USS Endeavor, recently tasked with answering a distress call from the outer colonies. Deploy to overrun facilities, abandoned ruins and strange alien landscapes as you battle enemies across four campaigns with two friends or AI teammates.

Facing over 20 enemy types – from Xenomorphs to Weyland-Yutani Synthetics – players must utilize cover tactics and team strategy. Five character classes, an expansive arsenal of customizable weapons and mods, character progression, and advancement systems help even the odds. The Challenge Card system also lets players mutate each mission, offering a new experience with every playthrough.

Aliens: Fireteam is scheduled for release in Summer 2021 for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and PC.
