Gearbox has made known that Aliens: Colonial Marines will be released on February 13th, 2012 for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. The press release and a new trailer boasting in-game footage are below.
“Our vision has been to create a video game sequel to the original Alien trilogy,” Gearbox CEO Pitchford added in a note on the developer’s website.
“Our vision is for the game to be fully featured with an exciting, suspenseful, thrilling and action packed narrative campaign that can be played alone or cooperatively combined with a robust competitive game where human players can take on the roles of Colonial Marines or Xenomorphs and do battle online. The game must be authentic.
It must complement, but not re-tell the events of, the films. It must deliver an original story and fresh experience that, for those of us who grew up loving the Aliens films, builds and expands upon those events, but also stand on its own for those of us who may never have seen the movies.”
Here’s the trailer:
DAMN!!! That was a more exciting trailer than both Black Ops 2 and Warfighter!!!
This looks great. I can’t wait.
Awesome games trailer. I can’t wait to get it.
Besides this looking pretty cool, you guys did mean 2013 right? Cause the date has already passed haha.
im still on the fence with this.
it looks like a awesome action game but thats EXACTLY the problem!
aliens is one of the scariest most beloved franchise in the history of the movie industry!
i just hope this turns out like a proper aliens game, IE making everyone shit their pants every 5 minutes!
and not like every other horror franchise, which has gone mindless action!
