Daybreak Game Company, Cold Iron Studios, and 20th Century Games have officially revealed Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, a sequel to the cooperative third-person survival shooter set in the Alien universe.
The game is scheduled to launch this summer on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, expanding on the original title with new features and larger-scale cooperative gameplay.
Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 introduces four-player co-op, increasing squad size and allowing players to tackle missions together as a full fireteam of colonial marines. The sequel also adds new threats, including swarming Xenomorphs, mutated Pathogen enemies, and Weyland-Yutani combat synths, creating more varied and intense combat encounters.
The game builds on its predecessor with new and improved character classes, including a fully customizable Specialist class, giving players more flexibility in shaping their playstyle. Alongside deeper squad mechanics, players can mix and match weapons, abilities, and gear to create unique loadouts tailored for different combat scenarios.
Gameplay is designed to escalate from tight, close-quarters firefights to large-scale horde battles, requiring coordination and adaptability as enemies overwhelm players in unpredictable ways. Missions will take players across new environments within the Alien universe, with a focus on high-stakes action and survival.
According to the development team, the sequel aims to expand both the action and horror elements that defined the original game, delivering a more intense cooperative experience for fans of the franchise.
Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 is set to release this summer.
