A new three-player co-op survival shooter game titled Aliens: Fireteam has been announced.
Developer Cold Iron Studios revealed the game via an announcement trailer on Tuesday, March 2. Aliens: Fireteam will be cooperative third-person survival shooter game in which players will have to fight swarms of Xenomorphs from the Alien franchise to complete missions and get out alive.
Watch the announcement trailer below.
Aliens: Fireteam will be set 23 years after the events of the first three Alien films. Players will assume the role of a Colonial Marine aboard the USS Endeavor, which is tasked with answering a distress call from outer colonies.

Aliens: Fireteam is scheduled to release in the Summer, although a firm release date has not been announced. The game’s pricing was also not revealed. Aliens: Fireteam will release for PC (via Steam), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
