It\u2019s confirmed: Aliens: Fireteam Elite<\/a> 2 is set to launch later this year.<\/p>\n

Information about an unannounced Aliens Fireteam Elite sequel surfaced as early as July 2024<\/a>, when a proposal deck detailing “a new chapter in the Aliens: Fireteam Elite” series emerged online. At that stage, it was projected to release by Q3 2025.<\/p>\n

Now, though, it has all been officially verified, and the sequel broadens the player count from three to four, alongside “more intricate strategies and improved coordination with your team, [featuring] a range of new classes and weaponry, each presenting distinct playstyles and tactical options on the battlefield”.<\/p>\n

Additional features include a revamped horde mode, a fresh Specialist endgame class for fully tailored Marines, five distinct classes, and “more lethal threats”. Players will also have the ability to collaborate across platforms with in-game voice communication.<\/p>\n

“Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 immerses up to four players in the roles of Colonial Marines sent to the most perilous areas of the Aliens universe,” the description states. “This isn\u2019t a rescue operation \u2013 it\u2019s a battle for survival.”<\/p>\n

“Xenomorphs lurk in the hallways, ambush from the darkness, and swarm in overwhelming quantities. Every corner might be your last. With enhanced squad dynamics, cleverer foes, and a fully customizable Specialist class, AFE2 offers the ultimate co-op Aliens experience.”<\/p>\n

Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 will be available on PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as on PS5 and Xbox Series X\/S in summer 2026 (or Q3, if you\u2019re in Australia). Assuming the timelines don\u2019t slip, that indicates we’ll see it sometime between June and September this year.<\/p>\n

“Aliens: Fireteam Elite is precisely what it promises. Packed with firearms, gadgets, and abundant alien goo, it\u2019s a fast-paced cooperative fight against some of sci-fi\u2019s most legendary monsters in a fresh storyline that takes us beyond the original trilogy,” I noted when I reviewed Aliens: Fireteam Elite<\/a> back in 2021.<\/p>\n

“No, it isn’t the most advanced shooter, and no, its shortened gameplay duration is unlikely to keep you occupied for more than a couple of evenings, but it\u2019s an unapologetically enjoyable adventure that should also fulfill your Ripley power fantasies.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
