20th Century Studios and developer Cold Iron have today announced Aliens: Fireteam; a "next-gen, cooperative third-person survival shooter" coming to Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and Xbox One this summer!
The game will drop your fireteam of hardened marines into a desperate fight to contain the Xenomorph threat, featuring over 20 enemy types (including 11 different Xenomorphs) and five playable classes.
Aliens: Fireteam is being built by a 40-person team, and will take the form of an online squad-based shooter, complete with RPG elements. And according to Engadget, there will be no loot boxes or microtransactions.
Play a pivotal role in the epic events that occur 23 years after the original Alien trilogy as a Colonial Marine stationed aboard the USS Endeavor, battling terrifying Xenomorph threats.

I am so down for this. 🥚
As the guys have said- I'm in. Love the Aliens vibe this game gives me. The game Colonial Marines should have been!
When I was watching the trailer I could have sworn this was being made by the Sniper Elite/Zombie Army guys, I was surprised to find out its not. I'm having a blast playing Zombie Army 4 with my brother, this should nicely take its place.
Can I play the campaign solo - offline - if yes... I’m in
@Stocksy Think Vermintide 1 or 2: "Fireteam is built to be played online with public matchmaking, though there's an option to run private games, too. However you play, you'll never be alone."
You can run with bots.
No splitscreen co-op? That's a shame, but the game otherwise looks great.
This looks awesome. This is a perfect game for co-op.
When they first announced Cold Iron Studios was making an Aliens game this is pretty much what I thought they'd deliver, and that's not exactly a good thing. It's perhaps to be expected given they're a relatively small team, but to me this just looks like your basic run-of-the-mill blaster. Admittedly I'm probably being overly harsh given we've only seen a single short trailer and I need to see more before I write it off completely. I just hope they've got more to show, like welding doors shut and setting up sentry turrets and other defences (and not in pre-set locations, please). Basically, I think this needs to be a mix of Gears' Escape and Horde modes.
Plus, it's going to face stiff competition from Back 4 Blood if it keeps to a Summer release. This needs to be something special and not simply shooting endless waves of Xenomorphs.
Either way, it can't be any worse than Colonial Marines, can it?
Generic? Kinda.
Repetitive? Probably.
Good old coop fun with four players? Quite possibly!
Wow, this looks great! Awesome first reveal can't wait to see more ^^
Love aliens. Still play world war z frequently. Looks like a fitting replacement and/or addition ^^
Unpopular opinion: I enjoyed Colonial Marines. It was a hot mess. It was broken and sold on lies and deserved the criticisms. But the co-op blasting was fun, and had Gearbox done their job properly, it could have been a decent game.
