“Xenomorphs have overrun the colony.”

Get ready to kill some bugs as the announcement trailer for Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 has arrived.

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. With deeper squad mechanics, smarter enemies, and a fully customizable Specialist class, AFE2 delivers the definitive co-op Aliens experience.

“With Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, we’re doubling down on the action and the terror, delivering an experience worthy of the Alien franchise,” said Chris Cross, Game Director on Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2. “We are all massive fans of the franchise, and we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to craft a sequel to Aliens: Fireteam Elite, a game that successfully brought to life the fantasy of colonial marines facing off against the iconic and terrifying xenomorphs. This sequel expands the action to four players, introduces new character classes including a fully customizable Specialist, and takes the fight to immersive new environments across the Aliens universe.”

“We’re celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Aliens in 2026, and Fireteam Elite 2 honors that world. With the help of Daybreak Game Company and Cold Iron Studios, we’re delivering the chaos of a Colonial Marine bug hunt with the terror and challenge of overcoming an overwhelming enemy,” says John Drake, GM of 20th Century Games and VP, Business Development. “We can’t wait for squads to get their hands on this world later this summer.”

Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 offers deep customization, with players able to mix and match weapons, abilities, and classes to suit a wide range of playstyles and build the ultimate colonial marine loadout. With a range of intense combat scenarios and additional challenge modes, every mission delivers a challenging and intense gameplay experience, with new rewards and untold horrors around every corner.

The game is scheduled to be released in the Summer of 2026 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. Stay tuned to Horror News Network for more on Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2.
